UK VHS recorders for NTSC playback in NTSC

18-10-2002, 5:13 PM

Please can someone advise me which VHS recorders available in the UK will playback NTSC recordings and output pure NTSC, rather than converting the video to PAL60?

Thanks

I have a Samsung SV5000W. This VCR does conversions in either direction ie pal-NTSC, NTSC-pal and many others as well as input NTSC - output NTSC. It also records in whatever format you need and because the conversion is done digitally the still frame is nearly as good as a DVD.

Thanks for your reply, I've looked at this vcr and I think it's probably the ultimate solution, although rather expensive at £400+

I could just buy a native NTSC player from the US, since I don't need to perform any conversions just have NTSC output.

Does anyone know where I can purchase such a player in the UK, or a company in the US who will export?
