Whats a better picture (resolution)a dvd player output on composite or s video or vga from comp. w/dvd playr?


Answers: composite (Red Green Blue) then S-Video then VGA
s video by far
it's my undestanding that s is what you want....mine looks very good....nice and sharp
S-Video, it's a digital signal. You will still need VGA connectors for sound, but that's not really your question.
Composite>VGA>S-Video>Composite>UHF
S-Video is better than composite, but I suggest getting component since that makes S-Video looks like a blurry painting. Get component cables for your DVD player and you'll be amazed.

S-Video is a pain in the butt to put in since the pins can get all bent very easily.
S-video isn't digital, but is the better choice.

(Don't forget, it's just a VIDEO cable, so you still need audio cables as well!)

Component video will give you a better picture then any of the options you listed because it allows the player to run in progressive scan and put out a higher resolution picture.
Video Signals from worst to best:
Composite (yellow rca plug)
S-Video ( black round plug with pins inside )
Component (red, green, and blue rca plugs)
DVI (D-shaped like VGA plug but bigger and combination of blade and several pins)
HDMI ( flat plug, looks simmilar to USB in shape)

You mentioned using VGA plug from PC. That could vary depending on the output of the VGA card you are using. If it is pushing an Enhanced Definition (EDTV, 480p) signal then it will be simmilar to Component. If it is pushing High Definition (HDTV, 720p or better) then it will be simmilar to Component and DVI.
Sweet lord, I can't begin to tell you the concerns here. The grammer, or the answers.

You go Herbal Cheese, mmmmm, cheese. S and Component are still analog and require an internal D/A but Component definitely gets the nod. Composite is for convenience, not picture.

DVI and HDMI are true Digital signals, but the TV has to accept them. Plus, if your TV is the new scalar types, you will have to go HDMI.

mmmmm, 1080p

Ok, that's it. Give the award to Herbal, cuz the name is cool, oh, and he was right.

Yes, I do know, I am a trainer.
