Can I produce a VHS tape with Video Factory?

I've been working with VF for about a week. I have a 12
minute project that I want to put on VHS - can I do this?
If so will the quality have degraded from the original
(analog)quality?

I pre-rendered a small segment and the playback was
extremely choppy. Is this normal? I have plenty of drive
and RAM capacity and a 450, P3.

Thank you for your help.

You say your rendered playback file was really choppy,
what FORMAT did you render your playback file too? Was it
compressed, and if so with which compression system?

To output to VHS, you will need a graphics or video capture
card that will output to a VHS video recorder.

This could be labelled as "TV Out", "S-Video Out"
or "Compostite Out" on the back of your PC
