Ok I got a GF3 TV-OUT card thingy and was wondering if I could use TVtool to send the film from the PC straight to the VCR via a S-Video cable.?? I would open the video put it on the TV so that the TV becomes my monitor, Put the film on full-screen and then press record on the VCR to record the film as full-screen?? Would it work? (Obviously it would go to the TV via the VCR). Thanks!

Wooah!! Thanks for the replys... I managed to do it on my own which is good - the next question is... SOUND! How can I go from a SB Audigy 5.1 card to the left right Phono pin things? (red and white plugs)?? The pins from the card are too small, so it needs to go throught something...?!?! Just give me an idea please!! Thanks

Hi, Im new to this forum so i'd just like to say hi to everyone first.

In regards to the question of DVD to VHS, I find the best way to do it is to use a graphics card with tv out, and conect an s-video and auido lead (from sound card) direct to a TV Combi, cause it seems to elimanate any recording problems.

Glad you got the video working. To get the sound going from your SB to your phono inputs on your VCR, just head down to Radio Shack (or even better any local electronics parts supply store) and get either a stereo headphone jack to RCA (phono) coverter, or a cable with the headphone connection on one end and the phono connectors on the other. I suggest the latter if you can find it because your signal noise will be better the fewer connections you have to make. If you don't know what to ask for, just explain what you are trying to do and I'm sure whoever works there can help you out.
