composit or composit-to-S-video?

[EP10]

Is there a difference to capturing from a VHS recorder with:

* composit or
* composit to S-Video connector

In the last example this is a solution where a SCART cable is plugged into the VCR and a S-video connector is plugged into my DC10+
The VCS doesn't have a connector for S-Video

This question is mainly because i get diagonal-lines accross my captured AVI's.

From my reading I have found that:
VHS/std8/composite is around 250 lines of resolution
S-VHS/Hi-8 is around 400 lines of resolution
DV/Digital8 is around 500+ lines of resolution

So a VHS VCR records, and can only produce, ~250 lines of resolution.
Capturing from a S-VHS VCR will reduce quality when sending VHS-250lines-composite since the original recording at ~400 lines will be transferred through a connection which can handle only ~250 lines of quality and so only 250 line quality would be captured.

With the composite signal:
the VHS VCR limits quality to ~250 lines
from a TV tuner I think it is ~400 lines
perhaps someone can confirm this?

I don't notice any difference but there is a webpage which shows a test sample which does show that the S-Video connector works better. But I can't find it right now.
