How would i go about putting all of my digital music videos onto VHS? i dont have a dvd recorder or anything so VHS is my only option for clearing some space on my hard drive. My computer is an older imac with VGA out and firewire and usb. i have a VCR with RCA input on it, but i dont know how i would connect the computer to the VCR. oh yeah, my movies are in .avi format.

any help would be appreciated!

wouldn't it be easier to burn the files to CDs? and better quality? if you must go to VHS, you need a converter (I think the Dazzle Hollywood DV bridge is cheapest, mine was $229), or a DV camera would probably work, they start at about $400 I think. Or if you can find a powerbook somewhere, they have S-Video outputs, and an S-Video to RCA converter (if the owner didn't lose it)...
