Standards
In the UK, most new players have the capability of playing both PAL and NTSC (American) standard tapes. However, players in the USA are not normally dual standard, so a tape recorded here in the UK will need to be converted before someone in the USA will be able to view it.

Play/Record Speed
There is also a difference in the playing/recording speeds of these tapes. The conversion chart below shows the difference this makes in recording/playing times for any given tape.

If you need your tapes converted, we will gladly perform this service quickly & efficiently for you, often on the same day!
