Secam

[Sepu]

I would like to know if there is a way to see Secam VHS on PAL TVs etc, with colors...
I read somewhere online that S-VHS VCR can play Secam with colors...
Thanks

For sure there is, My VCR can play pal,secam,ntsc and it plays just fine on the tv. So, there's gotta be a way.

if I buy a VCR that can play correctly SECAM-L, can i rip a VHS into a DVD with my SA? (so, in PAL)

If the SA accepts Secam color system.

I talked with a guy that makes videos for television, and he told me that the VCR will convert the secam signal to let me see it on PAL TV, so it will not be a problem to connect the VCR to the SA with a scart cable and rip it as PAL.
I've to try that anyway...

Well brother, I tested that myself with my SA and it worked when I recorded from the TV, with the VCR plugged in the TV. Try that and see if it works!

Just hook your VCR into your Tv, choose TV as the source on the SA and record.

Update:

I'm going to a VCR/DVD recorder shop next week, to try copy a SECAM VHS.
In these days I readed a lot of stuff online about these different formats for VHS, and the interesting sentence I saw is this one:

There is no longer any difference (in the digital domain) between PAL and SECAM. Digitial vidio uses its own seperate colour space, so even the minor colour space differences between PAL and SECAM become moot in the digitial domain.

So, I'm going to play the SECAM VHS with a VCR that can play it correctly, and make a PAL DVD through a SCART cable.

Let's see if it will work
