So you own a PAL VHS Player? Cool. NTSC VHS Playere where never much seen in Germany. Some exist, but it was not a widespread feature.(Mostly for such geeks who imported VHS of uncut movies from far around the world. But I'm to young to been someone who did. When I grew up and start loving movies from asia like Bullet in the Head the DVDs where coming...)

The good thing with this digital techs is that it could be a Video with PAL resolution but true movie speed.

I got another tape from eBay. Same type of tape, but also very cheap (about 2.50 Euro ... postage included...) So if it is correct aspect ratio, I can send you the better quality tape.
