Brothers and Sisters of The Revolution, I hope all of you are safe and well. I put my stimulus money to good use and bought some cool F355 collectibles. I have always had an addiction to this car and feel compelled to buy just about anything that relates to it. One of the items that I bought was a factory F355 video that was available in the 1995 Ferrari Idea catalog. The problem is that it is a PAL formatted video and us Yankees don't use it. Given that its a factory video no video conversion business will convert it. Does anyone know anyone that could help convert this to digital? Thanks! Ferrari Cat. N. 917/94 95990943

Per our Facebook discussion, I'll be hunting for a local video service who can read the format and digitize it. Make sure you PM your phone number.
Thank you both! I think the best plan of attack is to go through The Outcast (Dennis) first as he is local and may know someone. If that does not pan out JohnK I will be contacting you. Thank you!!!!
Here it is: Troy Video Transfer, 4915 Rochester Rd., Troy, MI 48085. 248-528-1868. Cost: Fifteen Bucks
Oh crap...I didn't consider the potential copyright issue...I hope these guys do this for you...now I'm worried.

I just got a call from the video transfer guy...he'll be open on 5/26/2020, and the copyright issue is not a problem, as it is an advertising demo.
Ohh boy! Its here! A special thanks to The Outcast for his help. This one is for you Dennis! It's pretty cool to see the prototypes.
Great stuff, looks like they hacked a couple of 348's to test the engine or something? I want a 355 now....lol
