It is an NTSC format tape. It will play fine on any "modern" UK VHS player and "modern" television. Years ago there used to be a problem as NTSC wouldn't play at all on UK PAL video recorders and TVs. If you've got really ancient gear (like one of those old "piano key" VHS recorders) then hard luck but I promise you there is no problem these days. I have bought VHS tapes direct from USA and they have played fine on my home gear.

[mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Towler, Vivienne Sent: 20 October 2005 12:04 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Civil rights video Hello, I have been asked by our history department to try and get a copy of "Eyes on the Prize" it's a 14 part series on civil rights in America broadcast by the Public Broadcasting Service, I think the first programme was shown in 1980's - the final part was broadcast in 1990, the series is considered to be the most important account of the civil rights movement of the time. I can get copies of the videos from Amazon.com but these wont play in other countries. Does anyone out there have copies of this series at all and if so can you let me know who your supplier was / is or does anyone know how we can get a US video cassette to play on a UK video player - is it possible?
