If your video card has s-video out you can get a very inexpensive
s-video/composite adapter plug at Radio Shack that will let you record
directly to tape via the regular video input on the VCR (assuming your
recorder doesn't have s-video in, which seems to be a real rarity these
days). Some TVs and home theatre receivers have an s-video input that is
coupled to the composite video line out as well.
