Is S-video better than component video?

This is probably a simple question, but when connecting a tv to dvd player, is s-video better quality than component video? Thanks.

Component video is better than S-video which is better than composite video.

Component uses 3 separate cables with RCA-type connectors
S-video uses a single cable with mini-DIN connectors
Composite uses a single cable with RCA connectors

All of them use separate cables for audio.
