Capture movie from PC to VCR ( getting black and white recording)

[Animaux0]

i got a problem.
I want to put a video i made on my computer to my video recorder, i connected to cables from my pc to my video and when i play it everything works and i can even see it on my tv but when i record with my vcr i get black and white movie. checked about everything i could think of and everything looks right.
my pc is a Pentium 4 2.6 with XP home
ram memory is 256
videocart is medion g-force 8xTI 4200

things i tryed :
triple checked wheter wires are all ok
vcr setting look ok
outgoing screen adaptor is on pal h ( witch should be the right setting for my TV)
tryed writing it on cd and that works with colors
few other things but cant really explain it in english lol

if anyone has somekind of suggestion or wants to help out i would be very gratefull

dunno wheter i had to put it on software or any other forum or hardware

Not sure if this is the solution but.............is the recording and playback on the same system - i.e. if you record in NTSC and playback on a PAL VCR the playback will be in black and white.

Does this link help?

Does the guidance on the last post on this page help?

It seems to suggest that there will be dificulties if moving the signal between composite and svhs from the CP via the vcr to the TV.

Thank you very much it actually helped :d

All i had to do is change a setting or two on the vcr and it worked , and for all this time i was thinking that it was somekind of problem with the pc lol
