Im using Video Stufio 7 and I have an old family tape a want to give to my brother, I have imported this to my computer, but my brother does not have a DVD player, so I cant burn it to a Disc, Is that any way to re record this on to a VHS Tape using that program?

I went to share and project playback and it said somthing like that, but when i press REC on my VCR ans then play it back, nothing shows up, Is there a way to rec a file on at a VSH tape using this program?

Simply this is Analogue -v- Digital.
The stuff you get on a VHS tape is analogue.
The stuff you get on a DVD Disc or on a Digital Camcorder is Digital.

Some Video Cards have "TV out" included, these enable you to use a standard television set as a computer monitor. If you have such a video card then simply feed the output to your VHS recorder and tape it like you would tape a standard television broadcast.

The quality of the output will depend upon the Video Card.

If you have a DVD player on your TV, just plug the RCA outputs into the VCR Inputs and then the VCR outputs into the TV Inputs. You should be able to capture the video and watch it at the same time. If you have nothing on the screen, you have nothing on the tape.

Or like Steve said. S-Video out of yur video card, into your S-video on the VCR. Not all VCR's will have S-Video.

This is a pretty cool gizmo also. I have one like it.

... Or, if you yourself have a digital video camera, export your edited tape back to the camera in DV format, then connect the camera to your VCR via S-video or RCA composite connections, and transfer the tape that way. I have done this quite a lot for relatives who also don't have DVD players...

Steve -- how come this suddenly resurfaced three months and one week later???

Or has your ISP been on a go-slow campaign?
