Thanks for the response and the advice! I'll get an adapter and give it a shot!
You might want to take that idea a step further and get a digital recorder which can not only read a composite video signal, but also record it into a modern mp4 file.
As for the TV, hmm, it’s been years – possibly decades – since I used composite video, but I don’t remember getting static from it. I think even if you have nothing at all connecting to a composite AV input, you just get a black screen and silence. However, if you hook one of the audio lines, to a composite video output, I know that makes an annoying noise – not what I would call static though. (It makes you want to turn the volume down really quickly!)
The one thing I can add is whether the TV has analog AV inputs. If so, just connect the VCR with that. But then, I think many TVs are also getting rid of those.
