Does anyone know of a commercially available adaptor that converts the RGB video
signal to NTSC composite standard? I whish to record the video information from
my PC display direrctly on a video tape but the VCRs and even Lser Disc Recorderthat I have been able to find only accept composite color video signals. Any in-formation is greatly appreciated.

This isn't terribly helpful, but a video-hacker friend of mine reported that this is very complecated but he had heard of a chip that would do it with a lot of external support. -- Charles Forsythe CSDF@MIT-VAX Wang Zeep:"Lord Fred, how can I show them you are the True God?"

We have one manufactured by Lenco Inc., Electronics Division, Jackson, Missouri, telephone 314/243-3147. It is P/N CCE-850. You probably won't like the price, though, since this is an industrial quality unit (you should see the price on the *broadcast* quality units!). You might want to give Lenco a call and see if they have something less expensive. I don't know offhand who would manufacture an inexpensive color encoder; the other outfits we have dealt with - Conrac and Grass Valley - make Lenco look cheap by comparison. I don't travel much in 'PC circles', so I don't know if something inexpensive is on the market which is aimed at PC users. Larry Lippman Recognition Research Corp.
