Have you heard of WWW.GOOGLE.COM try it sometime

Short for Super-Video, a technology for transmitting video signals over a cable by dividing the video information into two separate signals: one for color (chrominance), and the other for brightness (luminance). When sent to a television, this produces sharper images than composite video , where the video information is transmitted as a single signal over one wire. This is because televisions are designed to display separate Luminance (Y) and Chrominance (C) signals. (The terms Y/C video and S-Video are the same.)

It stands for "super video"
The picture quality is a lot better than composite
A lot of Tv has s-video "in", I hope yours has one,try it out and you'll see the difference
And also most capture card has an "s-video in"

Your DVD player has S-Video out so that you can plug it into a TV with S-Video in.

Your video card has S-Video out so that you can do the same thing...
