Help with fast and furious 1 and 2
Im not talking about The fast and the furious, im talking about the BBC ones. Anyway i just ordered the VHS from amazon.co.uk and when i tried to play the tape it was all static and the sound was very distorted. I tried in every player that i had in the house and nothing worked. Im wondering if the uk has different vhs tapes or something i dk. Also its not the tape player b/c when i tried another tape it worked fine, so if anyone knows what the problem could be could you help. thanks

yep europe is PAL and we have NTSC, and they dont work togeather. If you are from the US and bought a tape that is PAL you can buy a converter for $500 if you really want to watch the tape. The resolution is different to boot, that is why the top gear shows look streached tall on a computer screen

The videos have been posted already , but if your VCR player is multizone , you can watch the movie ...
I guess you can get them too in amazon.com
