Spielmann There are several RGB-NTSC converter boxes available, but you'll not be very satisfied with their results either. Realize that you are trying to show 840 horizontal and 1152 verticle lines of resolution on a system that is limited to 525 (in reality ~ 450 lines are displayed) horizontal lines, and vertically you are limited to (assuming a Super-VHS recorder) about 425 lines, or about 250 lines using a regular VHS recorder. You also have the problem of progressive scan versus interlaced which further reduces your apparent resolution. The only good solution is to go to film. -Erik ------------------------------------------------------------------ "I like those 's' words Q-skiing, skating, s..."
