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.
