composite use 1 wire and svideo use 4 (1 per color and ground).
and for the number of line, it's ur capture card that can't get more line in a picture. I use to have a Matrox G200 and it would do 700X460!!!!???:confused: so in a TV, picture was a bit stetch. Get a better capture card or use a DV link to capture.

S-Video also seperates the Chromience and the Luminence (color and light) so the shadows are more definate in the video.

Component seperates the signal by color. S-Video seperates the chrominance (color) and the Luminance (brightness) channels. And RCA/composite (as mentioned) sends everything across smashed together. :)
