i wanna have my comp be able to have S video capabilities. but it came out before then, how do i go about doing so?

new video card that supports it

i dont think thats gunna do it, because i still need an outlet to plug into my comp to the TV. more help needed

s-video cards have outlets like the one you see on the back of the tv.

first and foremost are you sure that your TV has S-Video (round ,sometimes yellow, plug with 4 pins) port?

if this is for your lappy then you will need an external video converter.

it is simply not a problem with the cable being wrong but that the signal itself is completely in-compatible. it requires a pre-processor to take the video out signal from the computer and then calculate it into something the TV can display.

if this is for a normal desktop computer then i would recommend a new video card. if the computer already has a nice video card in it and you don't want to swap it out completely there are simple add-on video cards that will supply s-video out without the need to replace anything.

either way i would hate to deliver such bad news but there is no way to convert VGA or DVI out to S-Video without buying a converter of some sort.

i got a yellow port with 7 dots, then a block of some sorts and it has a picture with S then what looks like a TV next to it.

what the? what is the brand name and model # of your TV. it should be written on the back of it. if anything a picture would speak volumes for me.

my comp has the 8 point yellow dealie. my tv has the regular red-white-yellow jacks in it.

my comp is the compaq presario x6000

i wanna know if it could do it or if i need to change things up!

yeah you would have to get a converter of somekind. i will look for one on the internet and post a link when i find it.
