Sorry, I have been in the garage installing my supercharger instead of reading the forums. As the laptop is digital, there would not be the loss of signal that you would experience with a VHS tape. I have made VCD (or Video CD) from other stuff that is out on the web and played it on my Plasma TV. It looks and sounds AWESOME. You have to convert the signal from the format that you recorded it into an mpeg. There is freeware software that you can get in order to do this. The software also sets the resolution and number of lines that you want in the conversion. It sounds more difficult that it is. I made a VCD that I was able to play on my DVD player in less than 15 minutes. Granted, if you only know how to hunt and peck on your keyboard, you might find it a little difficult to do this. My laptop has video in on it, so this helps a little. If yours does not, you can get a video/USB adapter that will allow you to do the same thing. You have to keep in mind that not all DVD players will play VCD’s. If yours did not, you would then have to get a DVD burner instead. Hope this helps.
