I'm looking for some hardware that will allow me to record the display
on a PC onto videotape (VHS/PAL).  I will be running XFree under
NetBSD.

What are the options for doing this?  Will I have to reduce the PC
display resolution to that of the video?  I'm willing to get either an
external adaptor or a replacement video card, so long as it works
under X.
