You either need a very expensive systems converter connected between the 2 VCRs, or you need a multi standard VCR that is capable of playing back the NTSC tape as TRUE PAL. These are very expensive items. Most VCRs these days state "NTSC playback on PAL TV", but these simply output NTSC as PSEUDO PAL which is near enough for a TV to display it but in order for a VCR to record it properly it needs to be TRUE PAL not PSEUDO PAL.

PSUEDO PAL is also known as PAL60
TRUE PAL is known as PAL50

I can convert the tape to PAL for you - free if it is h/c adult. You pay postage and supply a blank tape is all. Email me if interested.
