Play NTSC and Record to miniDV PAL

[rock]

Hi,

I have just been given a bunch of NTSC VHS tapes and he wants them
recorded onto a PAL DV tape.

I am not quite sure about this. I am in PAL territory (Oz) .

I have a NEC NV209 vhs (plays NTSC) and a Panasonic cam NV-4000 (PAL).

By just connecting it straight out of vhs and into DV, it flickers badly
which I think is the normal NTSC reaction on a PAL TV.

Any suggestion please?
