Sorry, but those RCA connectors on the back of your EGA card are ->NOT<-
composite video outputs.  Although it seems like it would be easy to do,
the EGA card uses different scan frequencies that would make both EGA and
NTSC (regular) video output a bear.  The only way to use the PC for char-
acter generation is to get a CGA card (bleah!) which does have composite
output.  The only consolation is that they're cheap now -- you can get one
for under 30 bucks if you look hard enough.  That's how I do my video
titling.

Good luck.
