Wow. Our tape player plays both. Most modern European ones do these 
days. I'm told most US ones don't bother for some reason (I guess they 
don't think you will ever need to do it). Your best bet is probably 
checking if any of your friends have a player that does both. Then at 
the least you can watch it but you might be able to take a copy or 
digitize it so you can play it on your computer.
