You could run the analog video into the computer, and use the computer
to send the signal to the data projector. If the computer already has
inputs for analog video, this might be the simplest way. If it
doesn't, there are various TV tuner cards and USB devices that can
accept analog video input, and digitize it for watching on the
computer. The cheaper ones cost around $35. Basically, you would be
viewing the VCR's output on the computer, and the data projector would
show the computer's display, just like it always does.

How is the computer connected to the data projector? In my lab, we have
a port panel inserted into the wall where the computer, visual display
(overhead projector), and VCR connect into it. Thus, cables run within
the wall to the projector mounted from the ceiling.

Margo,
Based upon the assumption that your VCR a composite video output only, you could
try http://www.pccables.com/70717.htm which I found with a Google search of 'vga
to rca'. You could try other search variations. The 'gender' is wrong for the
composite connector but that can be easily rectified by a trio to Radio Shack.
Not sure it will work but it might be worth a try.
Another idea would be if the teacher's update their media. Still certainly
cheaper than cable!

There are products out there that convert composite video to VGA. Look
at the following site:
