Re: S-Video Output on VCR

Coincidently, I just bought a Monster 3 S-Video cable, hoping to find a dramatic improvement over composite video. Didn't find it. The images didn't look much different. However, I made my composite cable out of Belden 89259 with Cardas connectors, so it's a VERY good and VERY inexpensive cable. Cost me about $20 in parts versus $50 for the retail S-Video cable.

I plan on building an S-Video cable with 89259 cable some day. The technological advantages of S-Video technology should be evident in this cable compared to the 89259 composite cable.

I would suggest cleaning off your RCA connectors. If they're heavily oxidized, that'll severely impair your image quality.
