Answer 2

If you are speaking about a video machine or a video tape, the answer is maybe yes, maybe no.

In different areas of the world there are different standards for VHS, both the tape and the machine. It really depends on the ability of the machine as to your ability to play any tape anywhere.

Here is what Wikipedia has to say about it:

Typically, a VHS machine can only handle signals of the country it was sold in. The following signal varieties exist in conventional VHS:

PAL/625/25 (most of Western Europe, Australia, many parts of Asia (such as China and India), some parts of South America (such as Argentina and Uruguay) and Africa)

SECAM/625/25 (SECAM, French variety)

MESECAM/625/25 (most other SECAM countries, notably the former Soviet Union and Middle East)

NTSC/525/30 (Most parts of North and South America, Japan, South Korea)

PAL/525/30 (i.e. PAL-M, Brazil)

Since the 1990s, dual- and multi-standard VHS machines have become more and more common. These can handle VHS tapes of more than one standard. E.g. regular VHS machines sold in Europe nowadays can typically handle PAL, MESECAM for record and playback, plus NTSC for playback only. Dedicated multistandard machines can usually handle all standards listed, some high end model can even convert a tape from one standard to another by using a built-in standards converter.
