Our language lab has acquired, thanks to my cohort member, a new worldwide videotape machine. We were able to view a videotaped french TV program, and scan and project a TV guide summary, as well, for a French IV class. The machine worked fine converting Secam to VHS. The programs were taped by a friend of a friend, in France, and used solely in class for educational purposes. The project went well and I have about eight others in the series. We are legal right? The more confusing issue is the DVD conversion-region factor. I have a DVD of an interview (bookstore purchased in France), but it cannot be used or viewed on our system----because we are a different region???? Is there a way to resolve this problem? Our computer (with projector)has DVD player. Thanks for any input.
