Forgive me if I've missed a recent post on this, but I'm looking for 

current information regarding a perennial problem:

Our multi-system vcr just went out, and I'm thinking of replacing it wi

th 

either a Samsung SV-5000W vcr with built-in converter (still available 

from digitalmegastore.com, among others, for $308, though they may no 

longer be making them) or a multi-system vcr together with a separate 

converter (world-import.com, also known as World Gift Center, has a combo

package for $429.99).

The separate converter claims to produce better quality video. I've als

o 

noticed a couple of posts from 2004 warning against doing business with 

World Gift Center.

Does anyone have advice about either of these or another solution for 

playing PAL and French SECAM tapes?

Thanks,

Viktor Berberi
