Hi all VHS Tape users.
There is a difference between the USA and European versions of VHS in that
Europe records using PAL format and USA uses NTSC format.
I have recently returned from holiday in USA and I had to specifically ask
for VHS videos of Grand Canyon and Arizona recorded in PAL format at the
gift shops.These were conspicuoisly marked as not for use in USA

I hope this helps
