Hi Anthony!

I still have a working Samsung Multistandard VHS--and an ancient Panasonic
AG-W1 that revived when we moved it out of the basement to a dry
environment--but we needed to decide what to support in our new building.
  Because we still have quite a collection of PAL videotapes, the University
decided to buy LG multistandard/multiregion DVD/VHS decks that output to
PAL.  The classroom projectors accept PAL input with no difficulty.  For the
large-screen TVs in the lab, we have converters to change the output to
NTSC.  No SECAM support, but we haven't needed that in years.

We never had miniDV decks; we use Canopus boxes for any analog to digital
conversion we need.

There was some discussion of eliminating support for VHS in the classrooms,
but no one was willing to do that yet.

Hope this helps,
Sharon Scinicariello
