I need help transfering video from movie maker back to my Sony non digital camcorder. Windows Movie Maker help says it can be done, but doesn't tell how...

Hi there,
Essentially you need a "bi-directional" capture card
capability. The one I use is an external device that
presents itself to the PC as a digital device (therefore
in effect "fooling" MM2 into believing that the
destination device is actually "digital"). It has input
and output ports for the following connections:
RCA (red, white, yellow)
S-VHS
DV
It is described in detail here:
http://canopus.com/US/products/advc-100/pt_advc-100.asp
(the animated system diag is useful... about 1/2 way down)
I have zero experience with such internal capture cards,
and I have only created one VHS tape with the ADVC-100.
It is a bit tricky to do, since once MM2 starts creating
the movie file and recording, it "thinks" its dealing
with a digial camera on the output path (and I g-u-e-s-s,
would attempt to issue somekind of "record" command at
the right moment) -- NOT the case here, obviously...
soooooooooo, you have to wait until the minutes remaining
count approaches the length of the movie to start your
VCR or VHS movie camera -- in my one attempt at this, the
total time was approximately twice the length of the
actual movie. Bottom line -- it worked fine -- you just
have to "stay awake" and manually start the VHS recording
process at the appropriate time.
Finally, my guess is that if you have an internal capture
card, then you would just use the output analog jacks, or
configure common I/O analog jacks to be in the "output"
state... maybe consider rattling the cage of your CC
vendor.
