Fully agree on the DVDs!!! A classic is the "best of" from the old Living Jewels video series. There is also one pond construction. The newer Koi Keepers series are also good.
Before purchasing a VHS tape or DVD from New Vision (or other) what video standards your equipment supports. Video in North America is the NTSC standard. Video in Europe is the PAL standard. You can VHS players and DVD players that play both. Also on the DVD players sold in the US..they are programed to ONLY play region 1 DVDs (North American market). The New Vision DVDs are marked as region 0...which should play on any player (that will handle PAL). No so if your DVD player refuses all be region 1 DVDs.
Solution.. get a DVD player like one of the Oppo models
OPPO OPDV971H 720p/1080i Up-Converting DVD Player with DVI Output My handles both NTSC and PAL and does not care about the region of the DVD.
