Exporting to VHS?

[rustic]

Sorry. I am new at this and am not sure which forum it goes in. Anyway, I downloaded a trial of Premiere 6.0. I captured a video from my VCR in VirtualDub using Huffy codec. I edited it (after much trial and error) with the Premiere trial. Now, I want to export it to a VHS tape for my friend whose DVD player won't play VCDs (and I don't have a DVD burner).

I have an nVidia GEForce 2 MX with TV out, and am using Windows XP. If I try the "print to video" function, my screen goes blank and nothing appears on the tape. Any ideas? What if I just start it in Media Player, and play it full-screen?

What if I encode it, put it on a VCD, and hook my DVD player into the VCR and record it from there? Can you do that?

Please help.

Thanks,

rustic

Hi
I have the same problem, I can not print to video ( my screen goes black and nothing shows on VHS tape.
So what I did I encoded with TMPG to DVD and them play it with PowerDVD and record with Video.
If you go for DVD or Svcd it will be better quality than VCD.
Good luck

Unfortunately, I cannot burn a DVD (only have a CD-RW) and my DVD player doesn't like SVCDs.

Last night, I tried playing the AVI file in Media Player and NVDVD full screen. This worked, but now there's nasty black bars around the whole picture.

Try Zoom Player from here: http://www.inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_download.shtml

You may want to check the limitations on your video board. For my Radeon, I need to be in 800x600 or 640x480 in order for the TV out port to work.

ZoomPlayer also lets you set the screen aspect ratio to 4:3 so that it fills the whole screen. Let us know if this works for you.
