Domi,
these VHS tapes are most likely NTSC standard which won't play properly on a European VCR. In fact I think France system is called SECAM
You would need a US system VCR (magnétoscope) to play it.

Of course, I know.
To modified an NTSC tape to PAL cost a lot of money!
That's why I have a VCR wich can read NTSC tapes.
Nevertheless, it is dead right now. (13 years old for this one)
I am unable to find a brand new VCR in France. So, I just ordered a used one, which can read NTSC.
The things is I was unable to copy my tapes to DVD because the hardware I had with my computer wasn't able to understand the signal.
I ordered a brand new hardware from Pinnacle, which can read NTSC as well if I am not mistaken.
I really hope to be able to copy all these tapes to the Internet and share them with other Delorean enthusiast.
I am surprised to not see that kind of video already on Youtube as I don't think I was the only one to buy it back in 1992?
I will keep you inform if I can do it.

I thought you would know that !
I had family send me a UK PAL VCR to play my old PAL tapes. Unfortunately it had a SCART output which is unheard of over hear.
Good luck on your quest.

I found the answer to my problem and its called : Samsung SV500W
It's a VCR witch convert any tapes to any format, you can find information about it on the Internet.
I found one on eBay a few days ago.
So, here it is:
As you can see on the computer's screen, the image is in color
I just record the smaller tape I have.
It should be available in a moment now.
I will post the link as soon as its ready.
I will work on the others tapes in the next few days.
