Is there is a Video Card that uses coaxials instead a s-cable?

My TV doesnt have a s-cable plugin. So I was wondering if there a video card/out to tv that uses coaxials?

I don't think you can get them but I could be wrong. You could feed the s-video from the video card into a VCR and then coax from the VCR to TV - that would work too.

I thought about that but then noticed that My only vcr doesnt have a s-plug in either.

You should be able to get a s-video to composite converter (if you're VCR has a composite input) - it normally comes free with the graphics card.

What does the input on your video look like? - it may be a bit different cos I&#39;m in the UK but here composite is three little round holes coloured red, white and yellow.

Yea, RCA cables. So your saying there is a way to covert rca inputs to s-video?

Well, from S-video to RCA. My graphics card came with a little adapter that changes the s-video on the card to a RCA port - you then just run a RCA cable into the video (I&#39;m assuming here RCA is the same thing as composite - it sounds like they are).

Like tikibonbon said, even if you don&#39;t get one with the card you could get one pretty easy from an electronics store).

Youve been a great Help, thanks a lot. Im still looking for a new video card. I have all these mpeg files and

I hate to encode them.
