Does anyone know of a commercially available adapter that can convert RGB video signals into NTSC composite? I am trying to record the graphics output of my PC directly on videotape and need the NTSC format to be compatible with any of the VCRs as well as Laser Disc Recorders that I have been able to get. Any informa- tion on the adaptor or other ways of going about doing the above is greately appreciated.

It was called an encoder, and took RGB+synch inputs and produced NTSC output. I used it to convert image processor output for recording on videotape. I don't have an address for the company, but knowing that it exists you should be able to find them through an electronics distributor or something. Steve Frysinger Why would I express anyone's opinions but my own?
