Re: Camcorder help please!

The camera should have some sort of output. It will probably have two or three phono sockets (one yellow, the others red and black). These look like

It may (but probably not) have an s-video socket



Your VCR will probably have one or two Scart sockets

You should be able to get a lead (make sure it is switchable, or wired for Scart IN) to connect one of these sockets to the Phono sockets on the camera).

IF your camera has s-video outputs, and you know your video is capable of taking s-video input on the scart socket (the VCR will be marked s-vhs rather than vhs), then use a Scart cable with an s-video socket.

You should then be able to record from the camera to the video.
