to the comp kings

trying to connect my comp to an analog tv i have a S-video adapter type thingy that breaks up into 3 coloured plug things, green, red, and blue this connects to the TV's audio in and video in ports yes? like a console? just needing to know which colours match with the standard yellow,red,white pins ty for help

I don't think that there is any way to make component RCA plugs work with a composite RCA jack.

they don't plug in to those sockets, no. The sockets on your TV are composite video and audio, that is the video is on one cable (yellow) and the other two are audio. The plugs on the end of your s-video cable are component video, meaning all three are video, and the red, green and blue channels are separate. You have the wrong cable.

do you know which cables i need that would alow me to do this?

yes, you need a tv out to composite cable for your graphics card.

lawl TBH ima noob with comps so i have no idea wat u just said, any chance u know a web site that gives a detailed explaination?or wat i need to ask for at the local electronics store lawl

I doubt you'd get the cable at an electronic store, they're specific to the graphics adaptor. can you post a photo of the cable you've got?

yes i can just gimmie a min

wont let me attach the file :S 40kbg jpeg file?

put it on photobucket and link it.

and here it is providing the link workshttp://s648.photobucket.com/albums/uu206/lolfasewat/

yes, that is a component video cable. You can get devices to convert component to composite, but they're fairly specialised and probably not worth the expense for what you want it for.

damn so no other way to connect my tv to pc?

You want an Svideo to RCA adapter.Like this one:

or

that is assuming the jack on the card is an actual S-Video connector, the one on my radeon 9600 pro was a proprietary connector that looked like svideo but wasn't

radeon 9550 is the G card i installed also it has Vid out near the lil plug thingy does that mean that the cable the poster linked would work? have a rough picture of port if u wana lookhttp://s648.photobucket.com/albums/uu206/lolfasewat/

I'm finding it hard to identify that round connector, it's definitely not S-Video, which looks like , but it seems not to have enough pins to be the radeon 9 series video out connector (looks like . How many pins does the connector have (picture looks like 6, but it's not clear enough to be sure)?

you could always do what i do and use an s-video to scart like this

my 9600 pro had s-video ?

I could get S-video out of the card, but I had to use a special converter cable that came with the card
