I like to know how I can move my slides that i scaned in to the computer, transfer to the VCR so I can view them on the TV?

Sounds to me like you have two or three options that you can try. Upload the images back to the camera's media card from your PC and then use the camera's video out to tape them on your VCR or get a video card with a standard NTSC or PAL video output or get a converter that can convert VGA or XVGA signals to standard NTSC or PAL video.

The first method may be possible with cameras that connect via USB, someone just posted a method for a Canon unit, or for those who have card readers that can be used to write the images back onto the media without the camera.

Good Luck!

There is a neat device called FotoVix that lets you skip the computer altogether. It will display either slides or negatives through a video out plug that you can connect to a TV or VCR. It can crop, zoom, and convert negatives to positives. I think new ones are discontinued, (they ran about $1200), but you can find them cheaper anyway on ebay. I myself am a digicam user but ran across this on a whitewater rafting trip. They used a 35mm SLR to take pictures of us on the river, then processed the negatives in their own color darkroom, and showed a slideshow on a TV for us to select which prints we wanted to order. I was most impressed at the quality, especially since I didn't know such a thing existed. It may also be listed on some sites as PhotoVix. Most search engines should find it.
