Video

I have a tv/video capture card and can convert video tape to computer .avi files and edit them.
How do I turn the .avi file back to a video file ?
The video editing software I have seen (very little) only has options for saving as .avi files.
I'm puzzled. Is it not possable to convert avi's to video tape ?

Gad,
"How do I turn the .avi file back to a video file"
You have to use software to do it. If the program you have won't here is one I use that will.
"Is it not possable to convert avi's to video tape"
It is entirely possible

Thanks Mr Breeze but that is both hardware & software which at this experimental time I don't wish to outlay that amount even though the system sounds great.
Gad,
Sorry I didn't realize I posted as an answer, I meant it as a comment. I offered a suggestion to the question's
"How do I turn the .avi file back to a video file" and  
"Is it not possable to convert avi's to video tape" and the answer is as I posted. You have to have the software capable of doing it and Studio 400 is just one such program. Perhaps you could clarify the question or restate it too eliminate my confusion.

I am sure that your video capture card has a video out socket. This will output your video. Connect this to your VCR, play the avi, and record it.

Works for me.

Hi guys
The manual says "The adapter comes with a multi-function cable. It allows for the connection to other video devices. For instance, you may connect to a VCR, or camera, ect. The adapter provides for two types of video input. One for composite Video and the other for S-Video input.
The multi-function cable has other two connectors. In addition to video input connectors, you can connect to a remote control for other audio devices."
It states "video input" there is no mention anywhere of video output. I have tried connecting the cables to the video "in" connectors & tried to copy the .avi but it did not work.
Thanks for all your help. Guess this card just doesn't cut the custard. I'll follow the rec.video.... newsgroups & see what I can learn.

Thanks again.
