You want to transfer video files from your PC to your new VCR?
That is an unusual request in this day and age of DVD burners!
It is relatively easy, but dependent on your PC's graphics card.
Most graphics cards on 3 yr old PC's running XP will have TV-out
via an S-Video interface.
You connect this to your VCR, S-Video only carries the video signal
so you will have to connect the line out from your soundcard to
the line-in of the vcr to feed the audio.
Basically it just involves buying the correct cables to make the connections
and selecting the input on the VCR to record from (Usually L1 or L2)
Your VCR's instruction manual will detail this - probably as a connection
from another VCR or cam, just substitute your PC in the guide.
On your PC you may have to "activate" the TV-out/S-Video, but as
we have no details we can't guide you on that....
