355 F355 PAL VHS Video- Need Help

Brothers and Sisters of The Revolution,

I hope all of you are safe and well. I put my stimulus money to good use and bought some cool F355 collectibles. I have always had an addiction to this car and feel compelled to buy just about anything that relates to it. One of the items that I bought was a factory F355 video that was available in the 1995 Ferrari Idea catalog. The problem is that it is a PAL formatted video and us Yankees don't use it. Given that its a factory video no video conversion business will convert it. Does anyone know anyone that could help convert this to digital? Thanks!

Plus, if you can't get it done I can use it. I have an old Zenith DVD player that plays ntsc and pal formats.

 

Per our Facebook discussion, I'll be hunting for a local video service who can read the format and digitize it. Make sure you PM your phone number.

 

Thank you both! I think the best plan of attack is to go through The Outcast (Dennis) first as he is local and may know someone. If that does not pan out JohnK I will be contacting you. Thank you!!!!

Thank you sir! I will be investigating them tomorrow.

Of course!

 

I can't wait!!!

 

Oh crap...I didn't consider the potential copyright issue...I hope these guys do this for you...now I'm worried.

 

If they say no, they say no. We will figure this out.

Be aware that you can only change the region a limited number of time. After that it is locked in the last region you set. The device manager for the DVD driver tells you how many changes are left.

 

Yep, but this is a VHS

 

I just got a call from the video transfer guy...he'll be open on 5/26/2020, and the copyright issue is not a problem, as it is an advertising demo.

 

LOL just got the same call! Yep I plan to drop it off next week.

 

In that case I guess you're lucky it want Beta.

 

Thats right, it would be better quality!

 

Conversion to DVD complete, but I can't get the audio to sync up with the VLC Media Player....

 

Ohh boy! Its here! A special thanks to The Outcast for his help. This one is for you Dennis!

It's pretty cool to see the prototypes.

 

Totally worth the wait. Love the prototype scenes...takin' it to the edge!

 

Great stuff, looks like they hacked a couple of 348's to test the engine or something?

I want a 355 now....lol
