Or if it's something you want to keep, just burn it to DVD. |

If your PC has DVI video out then: - One noddy DVI - HDMI converter - DVI cable - TV plus there is no sound in DVI so you will have to route that separately (to your AV amp?) |

Obviously you will have to pick one it supports (as with any monitor). plus there is no sound in DVI so you will have to route that separately (to your AV amp?) Or the TV's analogue audio input located next to its VGA connector. If it even has one! Might depend on the model a bit where the connectors are. E.g. Philips - VGA at rear, phono sound at side. |

I haven't actually tried doing it, but I think grumps was meaning the SVideo output from the graphics card directly into the AV input of a standalone DVD recorder, any reason why that wouldn't work? |
