Alarm bells start ringing....  The original broadcast will be in 
field-sequential 3D NTSC and conversion will be necessary to record it in 
field-sequential 3D PAL.

Unfortunately the 3D effect will be lost in the conversion from 3D NTSC
to 3D PAL - This is the case for all off-the-shelf standards converters.

But to cope with this problem I developed a standards converter which
can convert between 3D NTSC and 3D PAL while maintaining the 3D content
intact.

You can read a background paper titled "3D Video standards conversion" 
at  http://info.curtin.edu.au/~iwoodsa/spie96/spie96pa.html
We sell standards converters and offer 3D standards conversion as a
service.  Check out the following address for more info:

Someone in the UK will need to answer this one, but you could try:

Cheers,
