I managed to record an NTSC tape on two UK standard VCR's, one had NTSC playback, the other didn't. Both had Scart In/Out ports.
To do it I used AV/Scart connections, outputting a 'converted' signal from my NTSC compatible VCR through my scart lead into my TV and then recording the signal from the TV through the 'Scart In' input of my second VCR. What this does is record what the TV displays not the NTSC signal it recieves.
Hope it helps... ”
i've got a multiregion sony dvd player that has macrovision disabled (it needs to be because i run it through a video projector) and i can record pal perfectly, but my vcr doesn't accept ntsc so i can't copy us dvds (i'm talking about demo dvds which have non-copyrighted programming which would be used for educational purposes only, of course

)
as someone said before, you need a multistandard vcr - but although they aren't as expensive as quoted (i saw a thomson for about 300 pounds recently), it never occured to me to try this - even though my dad uses a similar kind of method to record from his satellite equipment (dunno why though, always seemed a bit weird to me - i guess i should ask!)
