A few years ago, we were the only place in our little town that could
convert PAL to NTSC, VHS only.  Recently, some commercial video places
began to offer the service, for $50 per hour, VHS or S-VHS.  Two weeks
ago, I called a company listed in the yellow pages, and was quoted $15
per tape, and they supply the blank tape, converting between almost all
tape formats.  

If things have changed as much in Boston as they have in New Mexico,
you might find an affordable answer in your phone book.  Three
companies in my phone book listed PAL conversion right in the ad.  Hi-8
will be harder to find than VHS, but I bet someone in your area can do
it for you.  Good luck.  

Derek
