re: Svideo will not show Dvd on TV? Thursday, March 25, 2004 at 8:41 pm Posted by Tom Swanson (5553 messages posted) Svideo is a tape (VCR) format that is not well supported even by the tape industry. I've never seen a CVC player that had svideo hookup connections. On Thursday, March 25, 2004 at 6:07 pm, fjk wrote: >I probably don't understand what Svideo does.

Thursday, March 25, 2004 at 10:10 pm Posted by HybridRainStorm (6 messages posted) What Operating system and video card are you using? With my Windows Xp and Nvidia G-Force 4, I use nvidia drivers and tell my computer to clone my output, so that visuals show on both monitor and tv screen. Then I tell my computer to make my TV the first device and computer second, that way I still have my computer on in case my TV's resolution is too low to be able to read the text messages I receive, but that way dvd images are displayed on the television first, thinking my tv's the primary device. The blank dvd screen will be your computer instead, while you'll be able to watch dvd on your television.

Saturday, March 27, 2004 at 12:05 am Posted by ttterk (224 messages posted) Now I'm really confused. When I sold S-video cables and S-VHS tapes at Radio Shack I was unaware that S-video was a video tape format. I thought it had more to do with transmission of video signals. Am I missing something? Quote from item 2 of a Google search under SVHS: SVHS stands for SuperVHS and was developed by JVC to offer better video quality than the VHS format. SVHS can offer over 400 lines of horizontal resolution . . .

Saturday, March 27, 2004 at 8:51 am Posted by Tom Swanson (5553 messages posted) JVC indeed developed svideo and the cables were/are used to transmit svideo as well as regular video. I have yet to see or hear of svideo for digital video. There may be such but it was developed for tape preperation and cable I/O and I'm not sure you can apply it to digital I/O. Actually, it is next to impossible to find sxhs compatable tape On Saturday, March 27, 2004 at 12:05 am, ttterk wrote: > Now I'm really confused.
