How do I record onto vcr

[robhamblen]

I have s-video out on the video card and svideo on my tv.I plug iit i and the picture looks pretty good but on my tv you have to be in video mode to work on the computer. I also have a way to plug in the video card to my vcr but with rca cord. The picture is very fuzzy. I want to record my presentations onto video tape for people who dont have dvd yet but I dont want the picture to be real fuzzy. Anybody know what I could do.

I have a 900 mhz amd athlon thunderbird, 40 gb hdd with 15 gb empty, 256 mb pc133 memory, stealth agp 32mb video card (ati chips), broadex creative modem, aopen ak 73 pro MOBO, DVD cdrom, 8 usb, onboard sound.



Thanks,

How are you converting the signal from S-video to RCA? I have an adapter from radioshack and it works great. I also have one that came with my TV tuner card, and it converts it to black and white for no reason.
I think it depends on the quality of conversion.

My video card came with a "pig tail" that has the video in/out connections in RCA and S-Video. What are you converting the video with?

I have an s-video cord from my video card plugged into the video in s-video connection on the back of my tv. I dont have a converter. But, I also have on my video card a place to run an rca cable to my vcr if I want to just use that because my vcr doesnt have s-video so I just hook the rca jacks into the video in rca plug in. The video card came with the s-video wire. I bought a rca cable to use for the vcr. Its just one cable each, thier not together or split. The video 1 selection on my tv is what displays the computer monitor and you cant record that with the vcr, there is no video out on the tv to hook to the vcr. That would be cool though, you could record you game play to VHS. My problem is the signal run to the vcr is pretty week and it make the picture too fuzzy, the video on tape would be bad quality,you cant run both s-video and RCA at the sametime. If you have them both plugged in it only usues the s-video signal. You have to unplug the s-video cable for the signal to run through the vcr and then record that way and use the tv as a monitor, kinda like recording from one vcr to the next. I am going to try using the rca cord to run into the tv and then see if the signal is better then record the video like as if i were recording my favorite show.
