Hello,

I would like to convert a home movie on PAL VHS tape to an NTSC DVD. Does anyone know of any service in HK that can do this?

Thanks!

Don't know about any professional services that can do this but it's quite easy to do yourself. If you want I can go into detail.

I just have 1 tape to do, so I really don't want to spend a lot of money doing it. If you know a way to do it with kind of common household electronics let me know.

Thanks!

'fraid not. Probably out of your current budget.

If more that 1 tape, a second hand dvR works great ($3xx) VS
Per 60 min VHS:$80-90@ fotomax

Quick question since you guys are discussing related stuff - will my UK television work in HK or is it a different system? And if the system is different, does that mean my DVD player is also no good in HK?

Your UK tv will work here as they both adhere to the PAL I system. Your DVD player will work to an extent. If it is region-coded or otherwise known as zoned then it will only play DVDs sold for the European market i.e. region 2. HK uses region 3. If it is region-free then you will not have a problem playing DVDs from any region.

thank you - it is a multi region dvd player so this works out great.
