The header was referring to VCRs so I thought my reference about s-video was clearly meant to apply to VHS machines, not s-video generally. Sorry if you were confused.However, the emphasis is on component these days so interest in s-video generally is declining. No question it will be with us for quite awhile yet because it is considerably better than composite.

No need to apologize John, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't making a blunder. I agree that it is getting harder to find S-VHS machines these days. The last two that I bought (one a Mitsubishi, the other a JVC) were in the sub US$150 and had performance to match that price point. Very sad, but at least they had S-Video connections. I have never seen any VCR (either VHS or S-VHS) with component connections. I'll have to drop by a shop again if you are saying that the emphasis these days is on component connections and S-Videos are drying up in the VCR world. That would be cool.
Component on VHS tape machines has never appeared as a consideration but component output is (justifiably) the flavour of the month with quality DVD and I guess it is with the hard drive digital machines also(???).s-video was the quality choice with laserdisc with no component output ever appearing that I'm aware of but we seem to be moving on. Which direction we will end up with for home recording is the 64 million dollar question at the moment. And that is assuming the moguls do not prevent copying full stop. In the meantime I'll stick with s-video taping to time shift.
