Try looking into a WinTV card. They run about $100 give or take a few and are easy to install in an expansion slot.
Besides being able to ouput your video to a VHS tape, you can capture video tape and TV signals as well (broadcast or cable, depending on which you have plugged in.)
Always worked like a charm for me--email or PM if you need more info.
Best part: your screen saver can be a TV screen.
