1st of all you need to know proper format of this tape and your equipment. If there are different formats you got a problem.
We have a long time experience with PAL/NTSC troubles. Cause we shoot on Sony VX-2000 NTSC miniDV camcorder and some of our European customers can?t view it properly and/or capture.
(1) You can?t view NTSC tapes on PAL equipment (or reversal mode);
(2) You can?t capture NTSC reordered video into your PC if you play the tape on PAL equipment (or reversal mode);
(3) You can?t get pal signal if you simply dub tapes by using different types of consumer electronics;
(4) No one miniDV consumer recorder records in different formats;
(5) You can just transcode video signal. For this purpose you need Pal/NTSC transcoder. You can rent it on your local TV station (like we do). This is professional broadcasting equipment and it costs several thousands of dollars and a nearest consumer electronics shop don?t sell it (no online merchants too)
If anybody knows better and/or cheaper way I will donate some content him
