HELP Prince Video PAL

I just bought a couple of prince vhs videos from amazon UK. I live in th US and I'm heartbroken that I can't play them in my VHS. The only way I can play them is to convert from PAL to NTSC. I don't have any idea how to do this. Can someone tell me how to convert from PAL to NTCS.

Dont' you have a VCR which can play both systems .
I live in Europe and bought specially 2 years ago a VCR with NTSC playback (my other VCR was worn out)because I bought the beautiful experience video (NTSC).

I think you might find a videocompany which can convert the videos

You will pay a boatload for this.

If I were you I would just look around and find the bootleg DVD or video. The quality is just as good and it will be cheaper then converting it.

I can't tell you how to find it but I suspect you won't have much trouble lol

send them to me and I will buy them off you... then you can go and log onto Amazon.com (US) and buy the correct format...

Hang on, what are the videos anyway?

Perhaps not. I have heard of places doing it really cheap. Do check around. I have had this Dead or Alive video from the UK I have never even transfered over cuz I'm too lazy. Yeah 15 years or so of laziness. rolleyes

The videos I bought were lovesexy 2, sacrafice of victor, and the undertaker. I couldn't find these in the united states.
