A Graphics Question for Flutterbarians

I want to capture some computer screen output - that is record some things going on on the screen. I found this great program called Camtasia which works well. It allows easy recording, editing of the file, etc, and will output in AVI.
But I am a neophite at this. How do I put this on to a VHS or Beta format for displaying on a TV? What is the best screen resolution, size etc. for this? Is AVI what I really want for this? Is there a better choice of tools for this?
Ah yes, in Mayberry we are always behind the technology, can anyone help a dual citizen - that is Flutterbarian/Mayberrian?
Thanks,
Ziffle

VMware rocks at this. has a 'record movie' mode. And a 30day trial is available.

(1) get a card with a good S-video TV-out. ATI's cards tend to have better quality output but lousier drivers; I'd stick with an Nvidia-based card.
(2) Get a VCR with an S-video input.
(3) Connect the two together.
(4) Play on the computer, record on the VCR.
Resolution will probably have to be 640x480.

if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
