Nvidia (fx5200) tv-out has s-video and composite, or just s-video?

Just wondering, because my vcr/some of my tv's have just composite (in that case, if there's only s-video on the tv-out and only composite on the tv, can one use a simple s-video-to-composite adapter cord, or does such a thing not exist?)...

Thanks for your help!!
 
I think most new cards come with S-video only.. but an s-video to composite adapter. Atleast thats what came with my radeon.
 
Actually, it depends on the manufacturer. Most come with only Svideo, but I bought a MSI 5200 yesterday with both. I was surprised.

As for the adapter, most are just doggles that plug into a port that has pins for both svideo (4 pins) and composite (2 pins), so if you look at the port on the card, it'll have 6 pin holes.

Most video cards w/ only s-video out will come with a s-video/composite adapter. If not, just grab one at a local shop for a couple of dollars.
