Strange Format Question

    Hey all,

    There isn't a great place to put this question, so it kind of fits here since I'll be editing the video.

    My parents have old VHS home movies and would like me to convert them to DVD for them.  Our VHS player is breaking (color goes in and out, and sometimes the audio drops out, and a cleaning tape didn't help).  I was looking into finding a new VHS player, and found one that plays back Pal, Secam, and NTSC 4.43 (from what I read, the non-broadcast NTSC standard).

    The device says it can playback NTSC 3.58 tapes, like home movies, but my guess is it may convert the signal to NTSC 4.43?  If it does, do you know if a standard NTSC device (I was planning on using my VX2000's analog to digital pass through) can accept a 4.43 signal correctly?

    If not, I suppose we'll just have to go to Walmart and pick up a normal VCR, but it would be cool to have a device that can playback Pal and Secam if I run across any of those tapes (I know, I'll need a converter to change a Pal or Secam signal to NTSC to playback on our TV).
