Some VCR's are/were manufactured for particular markets and VHS tapes  
were made accordingly.  Presumably to reduce coping tapes made or  
released in different markets.  It sounds like you have a USA VCR and  
an international VHS tape.  Try playing it in some of your friends  
VCR's and see if any one has a unit made for international tapes.
