I was just curious.....where can I find one of those adapters to change a s-video into the rca plug (ie the yellow plug for your TV, yellow, red, white)

much like what comes with those nice high tech ATI cards.................

Something like this : http://www.svideotorca.com/msvmrca12.html ?

yes, that would work

but i was thinking something more local that I could pick up

rat shack

The Shack got anything like that? It's been awhile since I've been there... I've been thinking about buying a cable like this one, but been draggin' my ass on it...

Is this for a laptop? If so, the cable at Rat Shack (if they have one - they don't have anything anymore) may not work.

Most laptops use a funny non-standard variation of an s-video port.

For example I tried 3 different cables on my Compaq laptop - one only gave me a B&W picture, the other two didn't work at all.

I finally found a source for the right cables: http://www.svideo.com/svideorca.html

Any of the cables on this page should work with any laptop.

I ordered the MSV-MRCA 6' s-video to RCA cable and it works like a charm. They sent it UPSP Priority Mail an I got in in three days.

I tucked it in my laptop bag so I can watch DVD's or Divx movies on the spare bedroom TV off my laptop when I'm staying at my in-law's in Miami.

no.....
this will be going from the out side on my VIVO on my 4600 to my tv video in

They have the at rat shack.. They're $20 I bought one about 4 months ago, it works great.. eGo

alright....i guess rat shack it is......


thanks for all the help guys.

gonna see if I can run over there tomorrow..

Make sure your TV has 75ohm load on it or something like that.. If it doesn't, it won't work.. You'll have to get a modulator.. I already had a modulator so I didn't have to get one, but my TV didn't work directly with the plug.. eGo
