Does the standard video have a composite video out? I believe you need
a special DB connector with an RCA jack on one end.

If so, can you play DVDs on your computer and view them with an
ordinary TV that has Line In? I assume you can connect the Line Out
from the sound to the TV Line In with a special micro plug-to- RCA
plug.

You need more than a simple adaptor. You need a VGA to baseband video output
unit. It is a box with its own power supply. Inside, there is some complex
circuitry with its own uPC and firmware.

So it would appear to be better to get a Hauppauge card and be done
with it.

I used an old VCR to do that; composite on computer out to VCR, VCR RF out
to TV RF in. Worked great, as the TV is too far to run a composite cable.

Does it work well at higher than 640x480 ? I'd expect the RF
modulator wouldn't make text display very clearly.

That's what I recall doing years ago. I had a special VGA connector
with an RCA jack.

What I am considering is playing avi files into the TV instead of
having to convert to DVD.

Of course if I build a PC-based DVR I would need a Hauppauge TV
capture card, which I assume has composite out already onboard.
