I seemed to have missed any previous discussion of how this is done.
I have an NEC television with RGB compatibility, video in/out, and a
Zenith PC (Z-158).  Athough I don't have a VCR yet, what should I look for
in order to made things 'link up'?

I've had ideas of doing the following things.  Maybe someone out there can
tell me whether or not they are feasible or possible (please).

1)  Record, on my (not yet acquired) VCR, programs that I run on my PC.
2)  Save to disk any frames from a VCR tape in some standard graphic format.
3)  Save to disk a screen from my TV (no VCR involved).

Thanks in advance.
Scott.
