Or better still obtain a um1233 Pal modulator (dead spectrums are a good place to find these) it's a total doddle to wire up to a composite video output and easily driven from your PC power supply.
No point having a bulky old VCR cloggin up the place doing the job of something the size of a matchbox :o)
Good thinking! I was going for the VHS option for the simplicity angle. I don't know if the UM1233 supports audio.
