Would a video player in the USA accept a 'home' video from the UK?

Question

I have a video that i would like to post to a friend in the States but not sure if it would play on her video player.

Answer 1

if you want to post it to the internet, yes. people in the united states can watch videos that were shot in PAL.

Answer 2

Depends what you mean by video player, if you mean VHS then the tape would have to be recorded in NTSC(Never twice the same colour) format, but a DVD recorded in DVD Video format should be OK.provided you make it Region 1 or Multi Region.

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

If it's a tape that you play in a VCR it's not going to work.  You could put it on a DVD though - have a look at the link.  If it's already a  DVD you might be OK - the DVD player itself probably won't have any problems, but I'm not sure about her TV - I don't know how common dual standard TVs are in the US.  But then, she could play it on her PC if the TV wasn't an option.
