Don't they sell S-Vid to Component converters? That's how ATI handles it on their cards.

No...those are VGA-to-Component adapters (for the Radeon 8500 AIW and similar cards) and DVI-to-Component adapters (for Radeon 9500 and up, or something like that). And as far as I know (I created a smiliar thread back in June), such an adapter does not exist (or would not work) with the 6800 series; you'd have to get a pretty pricey transcoder that would convert the signal for you....

the s-video to component dongle that ATi will not work on an Nvidia card, I was trying to do this same thing a few months back. The only answers I found were buying a VGA to component converter box, which cost about $100. In the end, I stuck with the s-video connection, as I couldn't really justify the $100 for the converter.

I'm trying to get a .ts file from my HTPC onto my HDTV. Unfortunately I do not have DVI on my HDTV.


My htpc records my HDTV programming off my motorolla 6200 cable box via firewire. And s-video is impossible for HD programming.

BTW, I heard rumors of certain the 6600GT manufactures coming out withe the DVI-YPrPb converters, but I can not remember for the life of me who they were or when they were coming out.

Would a VGA-->component adapter work?

Some manufacturers are putting a component adapter cable with their cards. I haven't seen an AGP one that had it yet, but I know some of the PCI-Express ones do.

Thats for ATI

 

[darkswordsman17]

I wonder if getting the breakout box from a Personal Cinema card would allow you to do that.

It's MADE by ATI. DVI-I plugs are all the same.

Dude it will not work. There is a little chip in there that only works w/ ATI cards here I'll quote you from the product page:

Highest quality method to deliver component output with your RADEON® 9800, RADEON® 9700, RADEON® 9600, RADEON® 9500, RADEON® 8500 Series, or ALL-IN-WONDER® 9800* /9700* / 9600 / 8500 / 8500DV family of mulitimedia cards *YPrPb component video adapter (cable) is included with the North American ALL-IN-WONDER 9800 PRO and ALL-IN-WONDER 9700 PRO. Ideal for gaming, surfing the Internet, watching DVDs on your big screen TV. Supports 480i (interlaced) 480p (progressive), 720p and 1080i formats. Works with any analog component (YPrPb) input device such as projectors, HDTVs, etc.

I appreciate your attempt though.

 

[Rage187]

lost cause?

AGP may be tough, at least until more 6600 AGP cards come out. 6800 cards don't have native YPbPr output. A transcoder like these from audio authority would work with most modern cards from NV.

Other NV choices are a Leadtek MyVIVO 5950 ultra (good luck) and a 5700 personal cinema.

GamePC just reviewed a PCIe MSI 6800 using the new NV41 GPU that advertised HDTV out on the box, but didn't include a converter. Maybe when/if they start bridging these to AGP, you'll have what you want?

 

[Rage187]

I hope so.

THX for the input peeps.
