How to watch my PC DVD on my TV?

[calmius]

I have a GeForce3 Ti500 that was advertised as having a TV output. There are 3 outlets in the back of the card. ONe is where my monitor connected, second one is a round outlet with 4 small halls and one square hole in the upper middle. Third one is a rectangular white outlet with many SQUARE holes. It's half centimeter wide and about 3 to 4 centimeters long.
Please tell me what kind of cable I need to bu to watch DVD on my TV.

Thanks,
Yuriy

The round connector is an S-video output, so you will need an S-video cable to hook it up to your TV or VCR. If you don't have an S-video in on either your TV or VCR, you can buy an adapter or make your own adapter cable for about 50¢.

Hi, can you tell me how to make my own?

I made an adapter cord using these instructions, and it works great. I was quite surprised at the quality; I expected some color problems or fuzziness, but the picture is as sharp as the resolution of a TV will allow, and it works great for watching DVDs.

it is easier just to go and buy on for such a low price if you need cheap s -cable go here

www.smarthome.com,,,gold end cable is the brand of cable it works great,,,

But what he needs is an s-video to composite video converter. There is one at that site...for $140.

Go to Radio Shack, pay a few quarters for a 470 pF capacitor, solder it up and you are set.

SHOULD BE ABLE TO GOT TO RCA REGULAR WITH THE ADAPTER AND THE S CABLE AS CLOSE TO THE TV WOULD GIVE THE BEST VIDEO,,,,I NOW MOST S-CABLE IS EXPENSIVE SO I FOUND THIS PRICE AND IT LOOKED GOOD FOR ANYONE LOOKING FOR THE CABLE,,,,UNLESS HE WANTS TO GET A NEW TV,,,HAHAHA
