Yes, I've used the video in/out capability successfully on the 755CD, but it took a while to figure out. The key is to use the supplement that came with the owner's manual, as the original manual doesn't really give any information. But I'm not using OS/2, so that may be the main root of the problem you're having, Phillip. Briefly, here's what I've done: for video-out to TV, hook the 755CD video out cable direct to the video in on the TV monitor. To tape animation, titles, or anything on the computer screen, run the video out cable on the Thinkpad to the video in on your VCR. In all cases you'll need to make sure that Enhanced Video is selected as a device driver as shown in the supplemental manual.
