Page 1 of HELP Needed My VHS won`t record NTSC

The Story so far... I purchased a Samsung M511, found the code to make it multi region and to disable macrovision. My dad`s still refusing to convert to DVD for now, so when I copy my Region 2`s for him to watch, no problem. I`m no Sherlock Holmes so I thought great, multi region, america here I come, asked all my relatives for new release region 1 DVDs for Christmas, promised them all faithfully the DVD each one bought me I would put onto VHS for them to watch. OK, I know, you`re way ahead of me on this one.
I`m stuck, the DVDs play fine via my VCR and onto my TV, but try to record them and squeek squeek, the mice are out, won`t do it. After looking into it, I know, or I think, it`s due to my VCR only being able to record PAL and the DVDs are NTSC. My VCR is a DAEWOO 6head Nicam Stereo model if that helps. Can anyone advise me of any remote hacks for my VCR or what my options are in order to copy them. PLEASE!!!

I don`t know the M511 model, but it sounds like your VCR is hating the PAL60 signal your DVD is putting out.
I have a Samsung 709 and to get it to put out a PAL50 signal that the VCR does like I first have to use the handset hack to change the region coding, then use the hack to turn of Macrovision. Lastly I go to the menu option which says what TV I have - at the bottom I change the Pseudo PAL to PAL, this makes the DVD do a basic video-standards conversion and output a PAL50 signal !
Hope this helps
