I have a laptop with no s-video but it does have a 15 pin vga. i want a connector or cord that will go from VGA to s-video if not that then to one RCA. I found a cord to 3 RCA but i do not have a HD tv is it unneeded.

for the video signal, they should be the same. tv's and computers have different shapes/resolutions of screens, and with that option, whatever is on your screen will show up on your tv. there should be a way (somewhere on there) for you to change your screen option from Monitor to TV.

well I tried it on a diffent TV and now I can see the screen but its split into two, blurry and black and white.

I tried about 20 differnt resolutions and NO luck.

I found a website that said the resolutions but the one it said was not listed I also opened the hidden ones but still wasent there.


Do you still think I need to switch my monitor to TV?

Or Do you think my TVs are just to Old?

Thank you

@ NINVIN21
Set up your display as a TV, not monitor, in control panel, display, advanced.
Set refresh at 60hz, 640x480.
You'll have to have the latest drivers for your video card installed.
NForce for GeForce cards, or Catalyst for Radeon cards.

@ Chrispyb
See above.

Black holes are where God divided by zero...

Admire the collective desire to feed VGA output to S-Video. This is more than a simple plumbing challenge. VGA is, of course, a digitally formatted signal while NTSC, whether composite, S-Video or Rf, is analog. What this requires is a VGA to PAL or NTSC converter. Chipsets designed to perform this function abound since many TV-Tuner and Video-Capture cards (WinTV, AIW ATI Radeon, Zoltrix TV Max, to name a few) exploit this capability to transform analog inputs for digitizing (viewing on VGA) and DVR functionality. If you're really up for the challenge of masking, etching, inserting and soldering components on a PCB along with sufficient testing, the following site has a somewhat dated example of what you're after:

Good luck,

Panju,

If you're seeking to extend video output functionality from your DVD (or any S-Video or composite device) then you may wish to consider the item on the following URL link:

http://www.grandtec.com/videomate.htm

This device handles the major analogue video formats. If you wish to expand your interactivity and perform video capture (stills) or realtime recording and you can live with using the computer as an interface device (with the monitor as your output device, of course), then you might contemplate investing in a fully featured TV card.

Try an eBay search on ATI's All-In-Wonder (TV Wonder), Hauppauge's WinTV, Easy-TV, or multitude of other products by looking for 'TV Tuner Card'. This should provide you with a broad spectrum of internal/external PC devices as well as PCI/VGA or USB/PCMCIA compatibility. (In eBay I used TV Tuner Card and received ~300 hits.)

eBay e-tailers often have knock-off (clone) products that perform identical functionality, but 'cavaet emptor' since these items are narrowly marketed and distributed with little consumer literature. An example of a product that may satisfy your requirement can be found at:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8729544447

The prices on new and used converters varies as much as their functionality. Research as much as you wish; it's right at your finger tips.

Good fortune,


MrCub

I'm having the same problem as everyone else. I have a laptop with an intel 82830M chipset, and I can't figure out how to get a decent image to output on the TV screen when I'm using this vga to s-video adapter. Did anyone figure out a solution for this yet?
