Convert S-video to A/V output

I want to know if it is possible (Y/N) to convert S-video to A/V output. I bought a cheap geforce2 mx200 and it has just S-video output; but no TV wich supports it.

I believe that it is a simple matter of combining the two outputs into one via a simple adaptor. You just need to get the order correct.

I'll try as soon as I get a A/V cable...

Can anyone confirm if this really does work?

actually, one of the two signals of s-video will work as composite, you need to switch to composite in the geforce drivers, tho (some tab in display properties). you basically just need an adapter s-video plug->2 wires (gnd and Y I think) to composite.

Alright, I will update/tweak the driver I have, do some trial&error and then make a decent adapter in January

thanks for the help

you might try this. it says rca to s-video, but it should work the other way around? or they might have a s-video to rca connector! go to radioshack.com and this is the product number.: Cat.#: 15-1238

*nods*

I bought one the other day. Simple little adaptor that works like a charm. Cost me AU$10 for the little thing.

Cool, another Aussie.

Where in Australia are you?

 Curtis Jan 17, 2002
Hello fellow Aussie - like mal said, where are you?

 Mangaman Jan 17, 2002
I live in a little place tucked away on the south coast that the east coast generally ignores

It's commonly known as Adelaide

Melburnians don't ignore Adelaide.

The cricket's live on telly when they play there.
