John,
I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with your statement that s-video is only marginally better than composite (I'd probably agree with you if you said component is only marginally better than s-video...I did notice less of a difference on our big screen). I've compared the two connections (s-video and composite) on three different televisions (Sony Trinitron-higher end 32" from '99, Sony 53" digital ready television which was their best 15 mo. ago, and a lowly 27" JVC) and each time saw a vast improvement (brighter colors, sharper images, text *much* easier to read- especially the credits, much less dot crawl) that my entire family and my girlfriend's family noticed. I even used three different DVD players (cheap Apex 500A, Pioneer DV-434, and a Panasonic CV-50). It is such a noticeable difference that I wish my 25" Magnavox had s-video, but it's about 10 years old so I'm lucky it even has composite in and audio in. Oh well. But I do agree that the quality of software is often unpredictable, so if one gets a crappy picture, it might not be the player, television or cables, but the DVD itself.
