If you want to do one tape I sugest to go to a store that does that
type of conversion.

Could you easily find a store in the US that does NTSC to PAL conversion?
The other way round is more likely.

Same applies in the UK.

I agree that, for just one tape, a 'store conversion' would save a lot
of messing about. I was more interested in trying to defeat the
idiosyncrasies of Nero (and other multimedia processing software) than
actually trying to do anything useful.

I'm no real expert. Ten years ago, I had a couple of tapes (of a wedding
in the USA) 'professionally' converted (in the UK) to PAL. I recall that
the results were not too impressive. [Soon afterwards, my old PAL-only
VCR packed up. The replacement could play NTSC tapes anyway, so the
conversion was a bit of a waste of money!] I think that my own
more-recent efforts on the PC were actually better.

I'm not sure how common 'store conversion' facilities are these days.
However, ten years ago, when I was interested, I think that most used to
offer conversions either way. I don't think that there should be any
difficulty in getting a PAL-to-NTSC conversion done in the UK.
