This is not strictly true. Some of the VCRs available today CAN play both
formats. It is usually the higher in the range or more expensive models. It
is worth checking to see if your VCR has this capability if you intend to
aquire videos from abroad. You may not need the conversion after all.
Panasonic and Mitsubushi are two manufacturers that I know definately make
this type of VCR.
