[net.video] portable vcr for international use - europe and US

phil@ucla-cs.UUCP (02/04/85)

Does anyone know if there exists a VHS portable unit that can be used
in the US and Europe?  What about voltage requirements and interface to
European/US monitors?  Are there VHS cameras that with the recorder
built in?  What about record only units and compatability?  I assume the
VHS standard is standard everywhere (Could I play a VHS tape made here
on a European unit?)  Any info would be greatly appreciated (since I
know absolutely nothing about video in general).   Please send replies
directly to me since I am not (yet) a regular subscriber.

(I'm not quite ready to make the quantum leap from film to video, but
since I spent over $250 in making my last 30 minute documentary, I am
beginning to consider some other options)
