OK. I guess I could clarify that. *GOOD* S-vid isn't that much worse than component. Unfortunately, many of the cards with tvout have such sucky quality that it's unusable. The homebrew hardware I built to do s-vid from VGA gives results essentially the same as the component adapter... just modulated as NTSC. I have long since given up on TVOUT from video cards for quality reasons.
Hi Cory,
I totally disagree that component is worse than svideo. Below is the order of quality from good to best:
1. composite(1 video and LR audio channels in RCA interface)
2. s-video (looks like a PS2)
3. rgbhv
4. component(YPbPr in RCA interface)
5. dvi
I think you really meant composite. It's true that s-vid is better than composite. I really can't see any difference between 3, 4 and 5. Quality of the 3 are awesome most especially in HDTV.
