craig popoff Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Hi everyone.Is there a way I could transfer a P2E show to VHS tape. I have some clients that would preferr shows on video tape instead of a cd.Thanks for your help.Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumenLux Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Sure Craig, as far as I know, you just need a video or graphics card with a "TV Out" connection. Cable this "out " to your VCR "in" and you should have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig popoff Posted April 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Thanks Lumenlux. You think that would work. It sounds too easy. Can anyone verify this?Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumenLux Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Ok Craig, I can now verify it. I had to go back and actually do it again - to verify it for you AND for me. I am using three RCA type plugs: left audio, right audio, video into the VCR. These come from the TV out of my pc, and the two audios from the sound card.I normally have it set up for showing PTE shows on the TV when the audience can view easier than on the computer screen. Of course the picture quality is less than on the PC monitor. I did just now make a VHS tape of Mike's (Lloegyr) great Fields of Fire pte show. The quality on VHS tape is same (to my eyes) as when I view the PC run show direct on the same TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig popoff Posted April 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Thanks Lumenlux. That's just what I needed to hear. Guess I'm going to be looking for another video card soon, with the proper jacks. This will be a great option for the people that don't yet have computers at home, which in my area, are quite numerous.Thanks again,Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumenLux Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Craig, just make sure the card you buy will do what you want. The card I am using is very old. I have not kept up with the many graphics and video options now available. The terminology can often be misleading. Also, you may want to look at all the other options that may be available for future video type handling. Firewire, USB2, and who knows what. You probably already know all about the new goodies and just needed this PTE/VHS excuse to go buy a new toy anyway. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhwarner Posted April 3, 2003 Report Share Posted April 3, 2003 Another alternative, which I use is: http://www.focusinfo.com/products/tview_go.../tview_gold.htmI bought it several years ago and use it to display slideshows of all kinds directly from my laptop to the TV. Shop around on line and you can probably find one for less than $150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumenLux Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 And I presume you can cable your TView Gold direct into a VCR to put PTE on tape, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushu Posted April 4, 2003 Report Share Posted April 4, 2003 I use tv gold also, however I use the s-video connection to transfer to video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
