how do i record computer to VCR?

Is there a way to record what's on my computer screen to the VCR? I have a Windows XP from 2002.

I have some good videos like Jacksons "Can U Feel It" and Mariah's "The Roof" and funny Mad Tv clips i want to record.

hmm, U'll need a Graphics card with a TV-out (usually phono) socket. Then assuming U use SCART connections on a VCR, U'lll need an adaptor so U can use phono connections and then set the VCR to the relevant SCART channel.

I do this myself as I work with Analogue/Digital video thus I use video editing factilities with In-Out's respectively for various formats.

Tried many flavours - but sooner or later, always go back to the Purple Kool-aid!

That's one way of doing it, but you could also just simply rebank your Video's "secure beta" rack and allow it to upload in smaller files while the floater burns.

I recommend this. There is less of a chance of "data-spooling" (that's a fancy term we computer experts use for what happens when the video/audio interface glitches uncontrollably.

I assume you'll want to know how to erase thos MAD TV clips since they suck ass. Here's how: graduate the file names from your hardrive to some external drive and zone them to level three. Then you can delete them all as one big Zip file. Clean your cache and that's it.
