Convert SECAM to NTSC
I was in Russia a few months ago and [not even thinking about the different systems] I recorded some TV shows. When I got back I realized that the video would not play correctly (the picture is scrambled, but the audio is fine) because Russia uses SECAM-D and we use NTSC-M. I figured there must be some way software wise to take the signal my VCR is putting out (SECAM-D as NTSC-M) through my TV Tuner and fix it so that it will show correctly. Does anyone know of such software. I looked into buying a SECAM VCR, but I'd have to buy it on EBay and have it shipped from overseas. Best Buy, Circuit City, et al. only sell NTSC equipment.

Hi Agredon
it is quite difficult and expensive issue. (There are sveral professional standard convertors)
I do not know personally any software on the market which can capture SECAM. Look around in those few countries where SECAM is still in use, perhaps there is some TV input card processing also SECAM, when the signal is already in the computer you can probably convert with most of the video editors into the required format.
I know several multistandard VHS recorders which have a built-in convertor from any standard to any standard, however in analog world you will have also some troubles with the speed (50 Hz vs. 60Hz).
You should be able to play back the SECAM signal in BW format.
