I bought a scan converter, This basically plugs into where your monitor normally goes, it takes the signal, converts it to a usable VCR signal, and you can use the video-in line on the vcr to record. This won't do sound, but you can just plug a cord from the line-out to the video line-in to do that. I live in australia, so my choices on the converters was very limited. I got the cheapest I could find ($200 australian - I think that's about $150 US) and the quality is perfect for me. I wouldn't want to broadcast it, but for home vcr it's as good as any video tape. I believe you also have lower-quality television in america, so that should be even less of a problem for you. I got my scan converted from AITECH (www.aitech.com) - and the only complaint I have is that there isn't an easy bypass-on/off switch for it, so if I don't want it to be powered and working I have to manually unplug it. But for cheap hardware, that's something I can live with The other option is to get a video card that can output to vcr. The TNT2 card came recommended to me, but not having used that I can't comment, sorry. Hope I've been of some sort of help SewerRat
