This is SUCH a Newbie question, but I find (to my amazement) that no one addresses this.

How do I take digitally edited DV from my computer and record it onto an analog VHS tape, without having to make a digital tape first via a camcorder?

The only solution I can find is a Canopus AVDC-100 or similar unit, about $270 street price.

The "passthrough" camcorders do NOT pass through both ways; they only take analog and turn it into digital.

Is there a simpler passthrough alternative?
Thanks,
Steve
