You can also buy an NTSC to PAL converter CHEAP (as low as about $40 US).
Going the other way is more expensive however (PAL to NTSC usually runs
about $200).
Or you can use a computer's video capture card and defeat macrovision
while you are at it (That is how I use my PAL VCR... I play it thru my
Mac's TV Tuner card which can read PAL... and when I want to copy tapes
to NTSC, I just sync it to the video output, which feeds NTSC, and
creates a new sync pulse, thus defeating macrovision... oh wait, by
saying this I am in violation of the DMCA... shucks!)
