I don't have the Nikon video-output wires (I always used the PCMCIA card to
tansfer the files from the compact flash to the WinXP laptop hard drive).

But, you gave me an idea which I will try now as I'm desperate.
I found my wife's Canon PowerShot camera and her AV output cable.
That AV output cable converts a mini-phono jack to mono RCA (yellow, red).

Instead of (unsuccessfully so far) trying to force the AVI file out the
firewire into the Pinnacle MovieDV box, I will try your suggestion on the
Canon camera to the VCR recorder. I will now:
1. Format a spare compact flash card in the Canon point and shoot
2. Put the formatted compact flash card in the laptop PCMCIA slot
3. Slide the 18 MB 1-minute AVI file onto the compact flash card
4. Place that compact flash card into the Canon PowerShot camera
5. Hook the analog A/V output from the PowerShot to the VCR input
6. Play (need to figure how) the AVI file on the Canon camera
7. Press the RECORD button on the VCR
8. Hopefully, this will result in a one-minute video on VHS tape!
9. My boy could then bring that to school this morning
10. Leaving me, his Dad, as a hero!

I'll let you know how your suggestion goes.

Meanwhile, if anyone else knows how to force the AVI file out the firewire
which is connected to the pinnacle studio MovieDV box which is connected to
the VCR VHS input, please let me know!
