video cards

by rtrg . Updated 16 years, 8 months ago

I found a special vga cable. 15 pin to svideox1,analog videox1,left/right audiox2. I intended to use the ON BOARD vga connector to run the video to a vcr in turn to my tv. I currently use a vga box for that purpose. I understand that the on board vga MAY or MAY NOT work with this cable. I also understand that SOME video cards have tv out capability at the vga port. I have ONE card for my pci slot. This card has vga ONLY. How do I distinguish a card with tv out at the vga port versus one that does not? The web site does NOT mention this. Cards are very expensive in my view and buying a card just to be able to use this cable makes no sense to me. I already have the box that works fine. This cable was a “FOUND” item. Any way I can determine whether the on board or card vga will work? Why don*t all vga ports provide tv out? Thank you.
