If you’ve got a video recording that was originally recorded on a tape from the USA, the chances are that it was recorded in NTSC. Supaphoto can convert any NTSC to PAL to make it viewable here in the UK. Alternatively, if your UK video tape is recorded in PAL, we can go the other way too: PAL to NTSC. We offer this service for many different types of video tape including VHS, Betamax, Video 8 and and Hi8 camcorder tapes too. View our VHS to Digital and Camcorder to Digital pages too.

EXCELLENT Based on 449 reviews Cloe Clare2025-06-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just used supaphoto and it’s been a great quick and simple experience! Our films and video tapes were collected promptly and the team got back to us straight away when they received. We got a broken down price of what everything would cost and explained the stages of the process for us. Great price for what we sent away and very prompt on doing the job and sending stuff back. Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone looking for this service. Sue Blight2025-06-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service and very efficient too! The quality of the films is superb and have not lost any of the quality from the original. Thanks for preserving our memories! Just used Supaphoto again and the service was so good. They really understand the importance of my 'legacy' videos and treat them very carefully. They are great at identifying the most cost effective way to deliver your product and are so quick in their responses. The output? - a beautiful memory box on a stick! Suzanne Corcoran2025-06-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emile & his team definitely deserve 5stars so helpful & a speedy Gonzales turn around they went above & beyond getting my old camcorder tapes digitalised in time for my husbands 70th surprise thanks so much 🙏 Pippa Hammond2025-06-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great quality service. Transformed two VHS tapes (including one affected by mould) to high quality digital files. Would highly recommend. Mark Witcomb2025-05-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gisela and her team took on the daunting challenge of developing a 55-yrs old cine film I’d come across (Kodak 8mm 'Kodachrome II Daylight film') which my grandfather seems to have forgotten to send off for processing back in about 1970. Supaphoto were quick to respond and helpful, explaining the process clearly including their policy of an up-front payment of £120 regardless of successfully processing the film or not. Given the work required that seems fair enough. Although the process took several months (apparently, they had to wait on some chemicals) Supaphoto kept me updated and were always quick to respond to my emails. Eventually they informed me that after several attempts they had been able to recover some images, in spite of the film being in very poor condition. It felt very strange seeing the footage for the first time after so long; like ghosts from the past! Thanks so much Supaphoto for not giving up, dealing with the issues and getting a positive result, I very grateful! Mark E Housden2025-05-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fast & efficient. Did a superb job on digitisation of 50 years old slides to be used for our Golden Wedding celebrations. We are very pleased with the result! 🥰 sue durrant2025-05-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Supaphoto copied some camcorder films onto a USB stick for me. They were very quick and professional and the quality is excellent. Laurence O'Connor2025-05-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Truly excellent service. I had an old minidisc voice recording which Supaphoto quickly converted to digital. Many thanks for the quick service :) Shona Harriss2025-05-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Personal and efficient service from the team!

PAL Conversion That You Can Trust
What are NTSC to PAL conversions? Television standards in different countries vary widely, making it impossible to view certain foreign video formats in some countries. PAL to NTSC transfers and vice versa serve to solve this problem. This is because they allow us to create video copies which are playable under a different region’s television/secam standards.
PAL is the video format standard which is used in the majority of European Countries. NTSC, however, is used widely in Japan, the United States as well as in other countries around the world.
TV standards change across different areas. Videos become region coded, and even dvd files can be impossible to play without the correctly coded dvd player.
Therefore, if you have shot any family videos on a US bought camera, it’s likely that you will need to transfer those videos to PAL format before watching them. Similarly, if you plan to move abroad you will want to make sure your videos are watchable for generations to come. If this is the case, you will need to convert NTSC to PAL.
How to convert NTSC DVD to PAL
You may have asked yourself how to convert NTSC to PAL. You may be wondering whether it’s possible to do this yourself, at home. To that we would say; while it is possible, you need a lot of specialised equipment and expertise. NTSC pal conversion and vice versa are not easy. For this reason, home conversions will often result in poor quality transfers.
To transfer PAL to NTSC you have to consider the different frame rates of the videos you are transferring. Furthermore, the video files will have a different number of interlaced lines. These are just two of the factors that we need to consider when converting a video to a different television system.

More Questions About this Format
A: NTSC and PAL are two different video standards. NTSC runs at 30 frames per second and is used mainly in the USA, Japan, and parts of South America. PAL runs at 25 frames per second and is the UK and European standard. Converting NTSC to PAL ensures your videos play correctly on UK DVD players, TVs, and devices.
A: If you have video tapes recorded abroad — especially from the US or Canada — they won’t play properly on UK PAL systems. By converting NTSC to PAL, Supaphoto makes your videos compatible with UK equipment, so you can easily watch, copy, and preserve your memories in digital form.
A: We convert a wide range of formats, including VHS, VHS-C, MiniDV, Betamax, Video8, and Hi8. Supaphoto’s technicians handle both consumer and professional NTSC tapes, transferring them to PAL in high resolution for playback on modern TVs, computers, and media players.
A: Yes — we can convert your NTSC tapes directly to PAL digital files such as MP4, or to DVD. Many customers choose USB or cloud delivery for easy sharing and long-term preservation. All digital files are encoded in PAL format for seamless playback on UK and European devices.
A: Not at all. Supaphoto uses professional digital conversion equipment that preserves image clarity, colour balance, and sound synchronisation. We don’t rely on cheap frame-rate conversion tools — our system delivers smooth, flicker-free PAL video that looks as good as the original recording.
A: Yes. In addition to NTSC to PAL conversion, Supaphoto can convert PAL videos into NTSC format for playback in the USA or other regions that use the NTSC standard. We handle both directions of conversion with the same level of precision and quality.
A: Audio sync is critical in any format change. Supaphoto uses timebase correction and frame-rate matching to ensure the sound remains perfectly in sync with the video throughout the conversion, even during long recordings.
A: Yes, absolutely. Once your NTSC tapes have been converted to PAL and digitised, we carefully return your originals along with your new PAL or digital copies, safely packaged for delivery.
A: In many cases, yes. Supaphoto can clean and stabilise mouldy or degraded NTSC tapes before converting them. Our restoration process removes dust and debris and helps recover footage that might otherwise be unplayable.
A: Supaphoto is one of the UK’s most trusted specialists in video conversion. We use professional-grade hardware (not low-quality software converters), ensuring frame-accurate, colour-corrected, and fully synchronised results. Whether you’re converting a single tape or an entire collection, we guarantee your videos are preserved in the highest possible quality.
