	The new $2000 Panasonic multi system VCR will do conversions. I know a DEC employee who is paying for his recent purchase by doing conversions for a few dollars less than what commercial shops charge. Contact me off line. /john

489.5	Reasonable Video Conversion in Toronto	TROOA::SCOTT	Bob Scott, TRO 3/18, Toronto, Canada	`Tue Aug 13 1991 19:06`	12
	I've had conversions PAL to NTSC and NTSC to PAL done here in Toronto. Including the price of the video tape, it cost me under $35 for 1� hours recording. Service is 1-2 days. There are quite a few places in Toronto offering this service. Black's Camera stores advertise the service, but don't display prices. Let me know if you want more info. Regards, Bob
