Sorry Kevin, My reply is a stupid question but, is your tv a multisystem also? The output you are describing sounds like an NTSC set (been there, done that.) In addition to rolling is the picture heavy on the snow? As an aside, an NTSC vcr will correctly record a PAL signal and will correctly play it back on a PAL TV, found this out while stationed in Berlin.
