A friend has a Sony TRV19 Mini DV Camcorder which was bought in the US. It
is clearly a NTSC version and he now realises his error. Is there a way he
can download to a VHS VCR which has NTSC capability and then view it on his
TV?

Plugging the camera into the TV just gives a monochrome picture.




Connecting the RGB from the Sony into the scart inputs of a UK video
that has NTSC playback capability (most modern ones do) 'should' give
you a watchable UHF signal from the modulator.
I suspect your TV is not too modern as you would otherwise be able to
plug RGB from the sony direct to the TV.

Do some searching on google.
There may be a way to convert it to Pal by re-programming the
camera via the lanc connector.

A quick search got

Good Luck.
