This may sound daft, but could'nt you just plug the TV Out from your PC into
a VHS Video recorder and work it that way?
Another solution would be to try and convert the compressed Avi to DV-Avi
and output that to the MovieBox (which WILL work - but is the frame rate
15fps or genuine NTSC/ Pal, if so then this idea snookered - it'll look VERY
jumpy, and you'll be lucky to get the conversion correct).
