The only NTSC compatible signal is from the PC's CGA board.  The other graphics
boards have higer frequency rates that are not recordable, or viewable,
directly on NTSC equipment.  It is kind of like wanting to watch a PAL tv
picture on NTSC equipment.  It MUST go through a standards converter.  You
will need to find someone who has an EGA RGB to NTSC composite video converter.
You will NOT have the same quality on your NTSC recording that you have on the
EGA monitor.
