I've posted this information before, but I've seen several questions
along the lines of Recordable EGA/VGA, Genlock, Video Titleing, Feature
Connector use, etcetera... so I thought I'd repost. 

U. S. Video has a whole line of products including a VGA board that
outputs NTSC composite suitable for recording which they demoed at
Comdex.  They have genlock add-ons for the EGA feature connector that
allow video titleing, and Laserdisc control.  Give Dave Medin a call, he
should be able to help you out.
