What I am missing is the ability to get TV- or VCR-pictures to my beamer. So I want to connect my VCR to my TFT, which just has a normal VGA input. Does anyone know a cheap way to convert VCR S-Video or Cinch input to VGA? Thanks. drwenkman Mr.Kh Not sure what your definition of "cheap" is but I picked up a Viewsonic Nextvision N4 http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/show...&threadid=22820 for about $100 CAD. If you can find a cheap one with good quality go for it, but I figure its worth it as its one of the crucial pieces of the puzzle if you're planning to use analogue inputs often. N4 also has a TVtuner as well as svid etc - something you might be able to save money on if you don't need. uvodee but you definitely need what is called a cheesebox check them out at www.omegamultimedia.com works great. i have another brand vgatheatre and it works the same....... J-P MicheleRaponi Take a look, http://www.computertimesm.com/empir...rnal-tv-box.htm I have this and it works very well in my opinion, it has also tv tuner and very good working contrast brightness gamma color controls! I payed it 89 Euro. Michele drwenkman thanks so far! but with cheap I meant something less than EUR/$ 30 - 50. Any ideas in that price range? uvodee ebay ???? or a cheap pc tv tuner card from a pc recycle store Good Luck! J-P uvodee on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...7&category=3697 for less than $50.00 a steal and probably not the cheapest one the search video vga converter Neversaid Hi wenkman, you're here in an american board, please note that a beamer means here video projector. That's better to understand for some people. Please post results of your video-projector. Bernhard drwenkman thanks! just found another one at playdeluxe.de: "Universal VGA Box". Costs EUR 39, should also be working. I think of getting that one. Should be the most inexpensive way of connecting s-video to a tft... uvodee to send it back if you are not satisfied, I would be suspicious when reading the feedback of 2 out of 3 buyers...... J-P
