Brian,  I have recorded the Apple II video on to a VCR and it works just
fine.  There is a program out (commercial) which takes advantage of this to
use the Apple II to develop introduction sequences (and/or ad clips) for
home video recordings.  I have "spiffed up" all of my latest home videos
with it and it works great.
