I'm connecting my PC to my TV so I can watch movies in my living room, and I'm not sure how long the cables can be without sacrificing quality. The wires have to go almost 50 feet, how long are RCA video, S Video, and 1/8" audio cabling good for?

not totally sure, but i went a good 30 feet or so in RCA cable (converted from SVideo on my vid card) and that was with multiple cords (and couplings)

I have only a 4 foot one for my TV but my friend has a single 25 foot s-video cable the quality is exactly the same on his ~23ish inch tv

50 feet won't be a problem. The picture won't be that good anyway so the signal loss i negligible.
