Foreign Videotape Conversions

Have you received a videotape from a friend or relative overseas...and you're not able to play it in your VCR? Or, do you want to send a videotape to a client or your office overseas?
Because of differences in the technology used in different parts of the world, a VHS tape made in another country may look like all your other tapes, but still not play on VCR's made for the United States.
Recently, Duplication Media received a phone call from a lady who was in tears that she wasn't able to play a videotape she received from her son in London. The client said that the tape was of her new grandson but it just wouldn't play right on her VCR.
Jason Olson, the owner of Duplication Media, explained to her that her tape was recorded in PAL format and that she could simply bring it in to be converted to the American standard - NTSC.
The difference in the world video standards is that NTSC signal is recorded at 30 frames per second and 525 scanned lines while PAL and SECAM are both at 25 frames and 625 lines.
As Jason says, "With our (Duplication Media's) worldwide multi-signal conversion system, Duplication Media overcomes incompatibility of the world television standards by digitally


converting the signal of a videotape into the signal a client desires."
Duplication Media has been in business September 2003 and requests for foreign videotape conversions have been coming in from individuals, adoption agencies, corporations, educational institutions, and more.
Jason said, "The shrinking world of communications has businesses worldwide communicating more frequently via videotape. European-based companies are sending training and marketing programs to U.S. divisions or customers on videocassettes, and traveling business people frequently return from overseas trips with foreign tapes that need to be converted."
