• S-Video to VGA or DVI cable?
    4 replies, posted
Seriously. I'm trying to look for a converter from the little yellow S-Video cable from those composite things to a VGA or DVI. I basically wanna hook up my VCR, DVD player, PS2, that sort of stuff to a nice computer monitor I have. The only thing I can find is this [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_n_10?rh=n:172282,p_36:1253503011,n:!493964,n:1266092011&bbn=493964&ie=UTF8&qid=1259669057&rnid=493964][img]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31VvwgclmZL._SS500_.jpg[/img][/url] Which sadly, is for the other way around. As far as I know, it works both ways, but I'd rather know what I'm buying before I buy it. Anyone have a solution?

You will need a converter, not just a cable. You could possibly do component to VGA if you have a monitor that supports it, but that is unlikely. DVI - HDMI exists, you could get something that converts composite signals with a HDMI output. There's a few on DealExtreme for around $50. I will find the link.

Thank you. Is that the only one available? Do you know where I can find a list of these kind of products? Google consistently provides the reverse of what I want.
Search up VGA TV Tuner. I think newegg may have a few.
I thought the PS2 already outputted a VGA signal but just needed the appropriate cable?
