[sci.electronics] Is it possible to tape VGA signals directly?

     VGA monitors are now relatively inexpensive.  I wonder about the
possibility of a home video system (for home taping) that would record signals
not as standard video signals for a TV, but as VGA signals.  Presumably the
required bandwidth would be much higher than for a conventional VHS or whatever
system, but perhaps it could be acheived by speeding the tape speed up, at the
expense of playing time.  Any idea as to the technical feasibility of this?  It
would be nice to have home movies with VGA resolution.
