I no longer remember exact specs. It's been years since I did anything with tape output. Perhaps the Canopus ADVC-100, or the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250. I just don't remember exactly how the output of those performed.

For several years, and quite recently, I was disabled myself. A lot of forum posts in 2012-2014 detailed my plight. So I can understand that for sure. Much of my downtime was spent learning new restoration techniques, which I've been using heavily in 2015. And I hope to document several of them on this site in several months.

I can look into some of those video cards, but suspect that the ones currently available don't have tape outputs. The one I'm using now, the HD 6450, has an HDMI output, which I had used to connect an LCD HDTV. Wanting to also connect the VCR, I started using an HDMI splitter so I could have one HDMI cable going to the TV and another one going to a digital-to-analog converter box. From that box I have an S-video cable and composite audio cable going to the VCR's inputs. In theory at least that should enable me to record to the VCR if there are no issues with the video. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked out that way. Thus I am still exercising my brain, trying to learn why it's not working.

The Canopus card is from around 1999. The Hauppauge card is from about 2003.
Those are not new.

That's what I thought. One of those could possibly enable me to connect the card to the VCR if they have S-video and/or composite outputs, but I wouldn't be able to connect it to a modern LCD TV at the same time. I am pretty sure I already have the correct equipment to accomplish what I want to do. The Divx recording might have been the problem before. I'll have to try the MP4 version of that movie and see if that makes any difference.
