This only stands a hope of working if you get a VCR which converts from NTSC to PAL. That kind of VCR is very common here in Australia, and I suspect that many of them are made in Korea, but most such VCRs fake it by creating something like PAL but at 30 frames per second instead of 25. It's barely possible that your Hauppage card will handle that, but you certainly shouldn't count on it. If you want a VCR anyway, try it out. Otherwise you're probably better off buying a new video card.
