Overseas Video Conversions

Different video systems are in place around the world. The most common are NTSC (USA), Secam (France) and Pal (Australia and most of Europe).

The most widely used domestic video tape is VHS. In appearance a tape from America will look exactly the same as a tape from Australia. The difference is the way in which the information is recorded.

Playing an American tape in an Australian VHS player will display a variety of different results from no image to a black a white picture, depending on the combination of television and video machine you use at home.

At Storm Studios we charge overseas conversions in 30 minute increments. You pay only for the program length - Not the tape length.
