  Hi,

  I'v just change to s-vhs and in my point of view is a wonder. I have a DLP-projector for home cinema and using composite is just awful. The picture flickers especially in DVD-menus but also when displaying movies. The next step I'm investigating is the difference between s-vhs and component-video input. My projector handles this as well but my DVD-player don't. Does anybody have experience about the diff. between s-vhs and component-video?

    Composite (good), S-video (better) and component(best).

    Generally speaking, the differences between s-video and component are not as great as the differences between s-video and composite. For instance, I notice a tremendous increase in resolution when switching from composite to s-video. When I switch from s-video to component, I actually think it looks worse. Why ? I haven't a clue. Maybe because I used 3 seperate video cables (I had some extra ones) instead of a pre-packaged one like monster cable. Or maybe my projector's component ins are inferior.
    
    What I find interesting with your situation is why your picture flickers ? That is something I would definitely ask about in this forum.

  I was just looking at that yesterday with my installation of a DBS Dish that has S-Vid out and cable out. Was comparing them on my Sony 32" XBR and older Yamaha RX-V992 and when you toggle back and forth on the 2 different inputs, the S-Video definetly removes blurring from around image boundaries and is generally great at tidying things up. I'm staying with the S-Video, the picture quality is first class when compared to composite and the Sony's digital comb filter is no slouch either.

    One has to keep in mind, that the souce must be s/vhs, or interfaced to s/vhs from a higher quality standard like component. Sources from, DBS are component, converted to s/vhs with outs provided, DVD & S/vhs video tape recordings played on an s/vhs machine. Mini DV outs, High8 outs. Off air broadcasts of local channels are composite and will not reveal a better picture. Digital cable will provide s/vhs outs of their converter boxes, but standard cable won't give better results. Any recording on s/vhs machines, with s/vhs tape will give better results than standard vhs. Keeping a system in s/vhs from reception, to recording, to viewing will the best it can be, next to full component.
