Long video signal run?

I am not sure if this is the right forum? I run video from a computer to my TV for instant access films off a disk array but I need to increase quality of signal. The problem is the cable run is 10m, about 30ft, and I have very mild traffic light effect on some films. Its kind of funny, its like an ambulance has parked just off set and the flashing lights can be seen reflected on white surfaces, not good. Its worse on loud passages possibly because my audio is carried in same svhs/scart lead? I have tried with computer on a short lead and its great, but even heavily silenced I could still hear it in the same room so it had to go elsewhere.
What I need to know is should I blow my money on an expensive svhs lead or do I need to increase the strength of the signal? Or both? I've tried radio transmitter and it was even worse, very poor quality picture and straight back to the shop.
Any ideas welcome

You probably need a distribution amp and maybe better cabling - John C. - Aussie 14:33:16 02/07/04 (0)
