Hi Martin. The only way is to plug a monitor lead from the PC into the DVD recorder. It all depends on what graphics card your PC is fitted with? My PC has a normal SVGA monitor socket and also a phono socket. The phono socket is a composit video out so that I can connect the PC to the TV although to get it to work I have to plug it in first and power up the TV before the PC so that the card detects the TV. There is an easer way. Do you have an external hard drive ie. one of those portable USB ones? If so great as you only live 7 miles away you could pop over to mine and I can then transfer the video to DVD for you on my PC. Hope this helps?
