Hi all,

I want to make a video, using my VHS video recorder in Australia,
and send it to my Mum in England. In the past she has not been able
to watch video tapes from Australia using a video player and TV in England.

In Australia we have a PAL TV system. Is England's TV system different?

She doesn't have a PC so I can't make a VCD. Could I send a mini DV tape
over and get it converted to VHS in England? What would that cost?

Thanks heaps for any help.
