Better quality when using a Composite=>S-Video adaptor?

[Ticiano]

I'll get any quality gain using an adaptor to connect my VCR (composite out) to my capture card (S-Video in)? Or the quality will be the same of when i use a normal composite cable?

My VCR doesn't have S-Video Out and i use to connect to te capture card using composite.

A composite signal continues to be a composite signal, no matter how many (passive) adaptors it is fed through.

If you have to stick with composite for some reason - and not having S-Video interfaces on both ends is a good reason - use good quality cables with good quality and matching (to avoid using adaptors) connectors.

Have a nice one,

In fact a composite signal can be somewhat degraded when filtered into the seperate chroma and luma channels of svideo.

As mentioned, stick with a good quality composite cable.
