Wait. PAL VHS wasn’t sped up??
Not sure which part you’re referring too - sorry, I can be a bit long-winded.
The Brazil tape is in PAL-M format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAL-M
“It is unique among analog TV systems in that it combines the 525-line 30 frames-per-second System M with the PAL colour encoding system (using very nearly the NTSC colour subcarrier frequency), unlike all other countries which pair PAL with 625-line systems and NTSC with 525-line systems.”
So hopefully the Brazil tape won’t be sped-up since PAL-M uses the 525-line 29.97 frame per second. And hopefully my deck can play the format. If not, I’ll have to find another solution.
If you’re referring to my TBS recording - it’s NTSC but it’s time compressed (sped-up) by TBS.
