I have a friend who has a video camcorder from Europe and he has the mini tapes from it and would like to have the home movies put onto a DVD that he can watch here in NTSC Land.
I was wondering if I could help him out, by getting him to make a VHS tape of his mini tapes, then giving the VHS to me and I could use my VHS to DVD converter I have to capture the video to a file on my hard drive...then use Nero to burn the DVD and specify NTSC output.

Would this idea work?

Sounds to me like it would work.

It will probably work; but you will lose 10 to 50% of the video quality and there is a 60% chance that the sound will be out of sync. You usually have to stretch the sound file to fit.

Being from accross the pond myself, living in good old USA, I have had the same problems. What I found out is that PAL to NTSC or vice versa is tricky business. If your idea works, please let me know, but I have a feeling you might run into some problems. And mbird9999 is right, you'll probably have to stretch the sound file out a bit.

I guess my friend has trouble hooking up his PAL camcorder to his NTSC VCR...it don't like the connection...lol. Damn so much for that idea.
