Thanks you JimK for you advice,
By now, it can been seen that the laptop DOES have composite output and, as
can be seen by the record, this works quite nicely to save the AVI file to
VHS for the purpose of furthering the education of a child and anyone who
may follow in our footsteps here and for the future googlers with this
problem.
One very interesting tidbit I learned while analyzing why the Canon camea
didn't at first recognize the AVI file was that little matter of the THM
files. It turns out, these THM files are JPG files of another extension.
They apparently are merely a frame of the corresponding AVI file saved with
a THM extension explicitly for the Canon camera to display.
When I changed the extension from THM to JPG, each of the THM files showed
up just fine as a JPEG on the laptop. Likewise when they were transferred
to the compact flash card in the PCMCIA slot of the PC and then to the
Canon PowerShot A95 camea.
As a matter of fact, I used these THM (thumbnail) JPEG files in the
resulting video ... by playing each one before the AVI so as to set the
mood for 5 seconds before and 5 seconds after the AVI.
Thank you JimK for the wonderful advice. The Internet record will show you
rise above the others in providing helpful detail and sage admonitions,
Tony Susa
