i just returned from my wedding in Thailand.  One of my wifes relatives
filmed the ceremony for playback on a vhs format vcr.  Unfortunately,
when we returned to the USA we found that it does not work on our vcr.
A call to the local video store informed us that in Europe and Asia
they use a format which is not compatible with the format used in the
US and that it has something to do with the 220V/50Hz power in those
parts of the world.  So the question is: is there anyone who can take
our tape and create from it a tape which will run on our vcr?  We live
in NJ so places in NYC would be convenient but we could of course send
it elsewhere.  Thanks in advance.
