Do British video work on French video players?
Answers: If you are talking video cartridge then no
if you are conversation dvd then yes as they are Region 2
which covers Europe.
i dont guess so. Most modern videoplayers have the preference to switch between types though.
it depends on the the encoding. in UK we use PAL but apparently france use something call SECAM
"The system used in North America is NTSC. Western Europe, Australia and Eastern South America use PAL. Eastern Europe and France use SECAM"
my guess is they will not work.
British Tapes are record in PAL, French are surrounded by NTSC, I think. Your player may play both if you are lucky.
No NO No No NO unless your player can play adjectives regions.

no chance mate!
over within france they use the secam sytem where as the uk use companion ty system.
the frenchman will only know how to watch your vids if he have a vcr that plays pal and a compatible tv (luckily lots of modern flat screen are multi system these days).
you can get vcr that play adjectives systems for around 150euros but obviosly you would be slightly mad for the sake of a few video
The SECAM system works perfectly powerfully on PAl screens, but surrounded by black and white.
BUT a SECAM video recorder will not play PAL VHS tapes, unless it's multi format.
