SCGT and V3 TV Out

Has anyone tried this? I can't get it to work.  Is there an option I am
missing.  I want to record my runs on video tape.

Just open the Display Properties dialog from your desktop.  Then select
Settings -> Advanced -> 3DFX TV - Enable output to TV.  Then go play SCGT.
This works for me.  One note: make sure you disable the TV out before you
shutdown windows.  At least for me, if I try to restart Windows with the TV
out enabled Windows freezes.  Then I have to restart in safe mode, switch
the display to 640x480 16 color, restart, and reinstall my Voodoo3 drivers.
It's a real pain in the ass.  If anyone has any advice about this, it would
be greatly appreciated.

Actually I have problems with the actual display output going to the
television.  The video goes to my VCR then my television.  I can see the
menu screens on the television but when I go into replay, the television
screen blanks out.  Neil from another newsgroup suggested that I lower the
resolution of the game to 800x600 or below, because he stated that the
Voodoo3 TV out is limited to 800x600.  At the moment I haven't tried it and
will try it as soon as I finish typing.  Thanks for the help.
