Is there something to convert an s-video out to normal video in???

[picardal]

I really would like to know since my video card has s-video out but my vcr has normal video in.
thx

what's a "normal" video in? I think svideo's pretty normal. But as for you, are you talking about rca or coax? Ususally if your videocard has only an svideo out, then its not just svideo but svideo and rca meshed into one output. if the output has more than 4 pins then that's prolly the case, and you can ask your video card maker for an adapter.

i mean rca av cable...
Do they sell adapters to convert s-video to rca????
thx

I never seem one available in a store, but one is included when you buy a V3 3000.

 

[picardal]

wow, I really hope I can buy one...
I dont know if radio shack sells em

I'm sure there are ... but sadly, the only thing I can come up with is svhs vcr ...

 

[picardal]

Sorry for my idiocy, but maybe svhs will work, what is that???

 

[beat mania]

svhs vcr? its a vcr with svideo input. and you can output to rca, coax, or svideo. price start at $200-$300.

Well an SVIDEO cable and an SVIDEO to RCA adapter is about $35 at radioshack. Your video card should have included a short wire that had svideo on one end and RCA on the other. If not then you got ripped.

Both my video card and my decoder card had the adaptor, but I lost one and think i have broken the other. If you find any place cheap let me know.

have you tried contacting the manufacturer of your video card?

 

[beat mania]

Svideo, as the name suggest, is video only. The extra pins are for composite. But the extra pins are usually placed so that a svideo cable will fit as if it's a svideo out w/o problem. The H+ has a separate outputs for either analog or digital audio.

W/c Radio Shack was this?

I've seen something like that for only $20 at the RSs in my area.

I bought one and returned it a couple of days later, b/c I purchased something equivalent and cheaper for only $4 at a computer show.
