BOTH ENDS of your cord are considered MALE

The place where you put them in the computer
and in the vcr are called female

http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F007%5...5Fid=274%2D881

[vance43211]

no


i would go with what dcsos show you

i think he was typing that while i was looking in the radioshack catalog

[skip2mylou]

ok so i am gonna go with what DCSOS showed me ok.

[phinsman]

Skip...

If you go into Radio Shack and tell them what you're looking for, they'll give you the right adapter. The one I have is so simple you have to look closely before you can tell there is an adapter on the cable.

Just tell them you're trying to go from RCA Audio to mini-jack. Don't forget the Y cable if your VCR is stereo.

RIGHT YOU ARE AT LAST
here's the adapter for your
"RED AND WHITE"
http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F011%5...5Fid=274%2D883

[vance43211]

that's the piece i was talking about

what kill me is, all of the pc magazine will show you these expensive pieces of equipment to hook your computer up to your stereo system

when all you need is a good sound card and this

[skip2mylou]

hey thanks u guys!
i really appreciate it.

@ dcsos

i was just wondering, how would the adapter, u jus showed me, be different than the previous one that u showed me earlier?

[dcsos]

The first pic I posted was not a solution, just an Illustration of the type of plug that will go into the computer's sound card jack.


Then I posted links ----to first a cable that replaces your
"RED & WHITE"cables completely

Then I posted a link to the device VANCE PICTURED..the adapter that uses your "RED & WHITES"

[skip2mylou]

so now i only have one problem, the composite to s-video adapter. i dont know if there is like a cable that has a yellow for my VCR on one side and an s-video male on the other. when i go to radioshack or someplace i will ask them. in the meantime, please keep posting your ideas, thanks.

[gmatov]

There is such a cable. A 6 inch pigtail, RCA to s-video came with my Voodoo card, s-video tv out.
Where you can buy one, I don't know, but the Shack is probably a good start.

[skip2mylou]

@ dcsos

so its official, the second link u posted is what i should get right?

[skip2mylou]

@ gmatov

hey thanks. i am gonna go on the shack's site and see if they have it.

[dcsos]

http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F003%5...5Fid=15%2D1598

this is WHAT YOU NEED

its not the $20.00 version I got

but the $39.00 one thats available on their website now

[gmatov]

It would be a cold day in hell before I paid 40 bucks for that!!!
A short one came WITH my vid card.
If you have a small computer shop nearby, ask them.
If there any shows scheduled in your area, check the cable vendors.
If I find one at my favorite local shop, where I get all my cables at mebbe 1/4 what the big stores want, I'll send it to you for cost + shipping.
Or, maybe let you deal with them yourself, if you'd prefer.

Watch this post!!!

[vance43211]

go to your nearest radio shack. better yet go to their warehouse store

if dcsos version was a discontinued version
and they have some, it will probably be 5 or 10 bucks

[skip2mylou]

well i called and asked them and searched the site and they showed me this product and said that it was the cheapest one (pricewise).
check it out.

[abrakadabra]

Here is a picture of the cable to connect from RCA to SVHS
http://www.biltema.no/products/product.asp?iSecId=535&iItemId=39269
Prise is about $8 or Euro

You can also use an adaptor (male RCA to female SVHS) plugged into VCR that cost about $4 and a SVHS cable

or a RCA cable plugged in VCR and an adaptor (female RCA to male SVHS) on the other end, also $4

@ abrakadabra

so u think i can buy sum'in like that at the SHACK or Best buy? if so for how much? i couldnt read the words on the site cause i dont understand em. cuz that is a cool product. can u tell me the exact name if u know it?

IMHO this the device, you are looking for:RCA to S-Video.
Don't confuse this with S-Video to RCA!They are not the same.

[abrakadabra]

@skip2mylou

The adapter you got a link to is what you need, but I find it very expencive compared to the $4 version I have found

The cable is called "S-video adapter cable" and the adapter, "S-video adapter"

Dragonsf says that "RCA to S-video adapter" is not the same as "S-video to RCA adapter". What I know is that the one I payed $4 for, is just that (have tried both uses), but that may not be true for all products.

I am using it to connect my digital cable TV-tuner with only RCA video out (like your VCR) to the S-video connector on my ATI AIW Radeon (30 ft. S-video cable)

[lordsmurf]

30 ft. S-video cable)

That must look awful. The cables are great, but too thin to carry full signals at that length. I had a hard time finding a 6-foot cable, and cannot imagine where'd I get a 30-foot one. Most of them are 3 feet long.
