Is it possible to record an AVI movie or MPEG movie to a video tape?

If yes, can someone tell me how it is done?

Thank you
 
a) play the file on your computer, use 'video out' on your video card (or your laptop) to record to a vcr

b) no video out? get a 'scan converter", which converts vga (digital) to PAL/ NTSC (analog) for vcr recording

c) burn a 'vcd' from your mpeg or avi file, using "Nero" or similar. play the vcd on a DVD player, and record to vcr

note:
a vcd can only carry about 70 min of video
the analog video quality from the vcr will be inferior to the on-screen mpeg or avi video

good luck
