    Hi,

    I would like to record what's on my desktop screen to VHS.

    I have a Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 TV Out card with a S-Video port on the back.

    If I connect a VCR to the Graphics card using The S-Video will this be enough?

    Will this only give me picture and not sound.

    How and what do I need to use?


    Many thanks in advance

    Yes,

    You can record what you see on your computer's screen to VHS, but the quality will be ugly. Trust me, I have been down this road before recording myself playing Unreal Tournament 2004.

    You only need to enable TV Out, connect your S-Video cable to the Video In of your VCR and then using an adaptor for the Sound out connect a sound cable to your VHS Audio In.

    The best quality would be recording to a second computer with Video In or using a TV card with S-Video in to the second machine.
