AAAAAAAH!!! that would be in red if I could work out how to change the text colour. Firstly, odds are you've got the format set wrong, if u are recording to a pal video recorder your output has to be pal, same for yank crap, sorry meant to say NTSC. go to the TV out settings on your video card, it will be hidden somewhere under Advanced, why something as bloody simple as picture format qualifies as advanced I'll never know.
Secondly, this adapter is it a scart block. I suspect it isn't as you sem to have a mono audio input on your vcr, if that is the case u are probably trying to put svha into a composite video input, just to confuzzle u some more, it's not RGB, 3 BNC fittings is it? If it is I could suggest how to fix the problem but I would rather give u the money to buy a new VCR and give that antique back to Noah's other sons!
I dread to think what's coming next lol
give me a chance to get a beer before the next instalment (B)

one other thought, i've seen colour picture while taping, but playback B&W once before but that was copying a dvd to vhs, no pc involved, it had something to do with protection on the dvd, i think. I suppose in theory the dvd may have been ripped without the protection being removed, unlikely I should think but posible.

my best guess is that your VCR is "old and archaic" and cannot record in COLOR!!!!!!!!!
it doesn't have ANYTHING to do with NTSC and PAL.....
if he has it in color when he's playing it, then it's fine how it is....
tried to understand your description of your connections, which was.......very fun...........
first off, from what I can determine, you're running an S-Video out from your PC to a converter to a composite cable into your VCR......
also, you're running a 1/8th inch cable from the comp to stereo RCA into the VCR......
IF I have this all correct, then here's my idea....
all in all, a pretty good plan.....
your VCR has stereo inputs but no S-Video in, it must be a bit old......
I've never seen a configuration like yours before......
anyways, I'd suggest that if you're going to do your audio connections RCA, why not do the video too????
go buy a converter for S-Video to RCA, they're not that much.....
then, just plug our S_Video from your PC into the converter, run a cord from the converter to your VCR (make sure they're both on the same input......it should look something like this
Audio Video
| L | R | |
input 1 | | | |
|--------- |-----------|-------------|
| | | |
input 2 | | | |
| | | |
--------------------------------------------------------
make sure you put them all on the same input........
also, in case you don't know, red is left and white is right.....
hope this helps..... :beerchug: cheers

i have done exactly what you are trying to do
i went directly from my vid card to vcr rca inputs(audio video)
then put the vcr on aux or video2 or whatever it has for the input
then tv on channel 4 of course and it recorded fine
