JeffandJade Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 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 Link to comment

Alex Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 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.... Link to comment

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 Link to comment
