I wanna hook up my computer to my VCR so I can record some movies onto VHS. I have a GeForce 4 MX 420 and the wire to the VCR is S-Video. But my question is, what about the sound??? When I watch a movie with the TV-Out there is no sound so I use my computers speakers to hear the movie, if I'm recording how will I get the sound recorded also????

Video Card = Video
Sound Card = Sound

buy an adapter cable to connect the audio "out" from your sound card to the audio "in" on your VCR.
the cable will have a stereo mini phono jack on one end and 2 RCA jacks on the other.
should cost less than $10

I am gonna try to do the same, record from pc to vcr. Could anyone tell me which is the best tv card to get? Also, I see that most use a s video cable to connect, my vcr does not have it, only rf. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Or get an RF modulator at Radio Shack. It converts RCA to RF.
