what do i use if i wanna watch stuff on my computer om my tv..............i know its a video card type thing. also im in the uk can be mindful of that....maybe even point me to the website...help is greatly appreciated

You need a video card with a video output. 99% of them are svideo output jacks. You can get a svideo-rca converter pretty cheap though your UK so you need a scart adapter - I'm clueless on scart so your on your own there.

I bought a S-video+headphone to scart lead from Comet a few months back - works great.

About £20.

[SIRCOOKS]

do they have a website?

[SIRCOOKS]

k i found the website, but what is the actual name for the item?

[rhegedus]

www.comet.co.uk but I can't find the product there.

It is at Maplin though:

Could try this too:

and of course for all of these i will need a video card with a s-video output device..........any external peripherals i can do it with?

[rhegedus]

I don't know if any of the external usb capture devices can operate in 'reverse' mode.

p.s. what did you buy that doesn't have a s-video out?

[SIRCOOKS]

thanks

[SIRCOOKS]

if anyone else can tell me if there are any external devices that can help me, please fill me in, and remember that im in the uk.

[rhegedus]

Buy a graphics card with s-video output.

Most have that now, you can pick one up for £30.

[SIRCOOKS]

yah, but i dont think my motherboard has an agp slot for me to even try avideo card, so i may have to switch the entire thing, to accomodate what i wanna do.....on the other hand if i can find an external peripherla that will be best for now

[rhegedus]

You might find an old PCI based card with s-video output:

[SIRCOOKS]

thanks

[yoda313]

Yeah tons of pci cards have svideo out. Heck my ati radeon 9550 has a dvi output on it.

[rhegedus]

PCI or PCIe?

[yoda313]

Are you asking me? Its a pci radeon 9550 with dvi output as an option.
