Proof of relationship

[JeffandJade]

Hi all,

 

Just a quick question about proof of relationship. Jade and I made a ten minute tape of us conversing in English. Should we format it on DVD or Video tape? In other words, what does the Embasy in Guanzhou want?

 

Thanks,

Jeff

I am not sure, but I think that some or most of the CD's that are made in the US wont play on there players there, is this right?

Others who have been asked to do a video were told to do it in VHS format not DVD

The consulate asks fo VHS . Be aware that VHS format beween the U.S. and China are incompatible for technical reasons...We are NTSB format, while China is PAL format .

 

If asked for a videotape, I will take my Sony 8mm, shoot the conversation, then go to a store called "Computer City". where for a fee they will do transfers to VHS. I have a friend who went through all this in GZ last week.

GZ does not want DVD's.

 

Take your video camera and a blank VHS tape....get the rest done over there....

So they want the video to be VHS PAL format.

Alex,

 

I don't suppose you would happen to know if these "Computer City" folks can do the same with a MiniDV (digital video tape) can they? I'm tempted to bring along my own VCR from home, I know I can tranfer the MiniDV tapes to VHS in either PAL or NTSC. And as long as I bring the right plug/power converters, it sohuldn't be a problem.

 

Also ... does anyone have any first hand knowledge of the GZ people actually looking at any of these tapes? I know they seem to be requesting them often ... but I wonder if they ever actually stick them in a VCR and watch these videos. Me thinks a blank VHS tape would just fine too
