Review

Did save the S-Video cables eh? Buy this one.
Verified Purchase
If you/your parents had an S Video camcorder in late 80s and early 90s, you purged the $3,000 on analog Monster Cables that had been cluttering the garge in 2003, and now you need a cable to digitize your old home movies, look no further. It’s everything you’d expect from an S-Video cable and more. Well to be honest it’s light on “more”. But it is exactly what to expect from an S Video and at a reasonable price. Buy it and save it.

As the Beeper King on 30 Rock once said “[Liz Lemon], the beeper's gonna be making a comeback. Technology's cyclical.”
 
Closest thing to hi def.
Verified Purchase
S-Video cables are not used much any more because they are analog technology, however if you have a DVD RECORDER, an S-Video cable is the closest thing you can get to a clear picture on the digital DVD. Then, if your DVD player up converts to 1080P via HDMI, you have an almost perfect Hi Def recording. The cable came earlier than promised and works as expected.
 
Thankfully there are still very good S-Video cables around. This one is great.
Verified Purchase
The cable seems to be of a very good quality. There are no obvious physical issues and the picture carried from my DVD player to the TV is sharp and bright.
The cord length of 6 feet is very convenient. It is short enough not to get in the way, but long enough to let you move the player around on the shelf without having to worry about pulling the cable out of its socket.

If you have an old TV that has S-Video (the one this cable is for is a huge 32" TV I bought over 15 years ago and it in my daughter's room now), this cable will meet your needs perfectly.
 
Works very well
Verified Purchase
Worked well transfering 8mm film to a dvd.
Film was grainy, but, I cannot
blame that on the cable.
 
It works, snug fit
Verified Purchase
Its shorter, I did nit need six feet. It works! It is a snug fit, which creates better connections. I ordered two others, on was double the price, it was so loose I had to tape the connecting ends. the other I got was six feet, it was snug, but no signal was showing up. This cable works perfect!
 
This cable works as intended.
Verified Purchase
I believe the picture is improved and clearer when using this cable to connect DVD player to TV.
 
Cable was good, just didn't work for my project.
Verified Purchase
Cable was fine, it didn't work for what I needed.

Custom Questions & answers

Question:I am looking for a s video cable for my old sony dvr trv 460 camcorder that can transmit both video and audio to my tv. can anyone assist?
Answer:I don't think this will work. The Sony's have a special port on the camera for AV out. See if the port on your camera matches this cable from amazon.

Question:Will this work with a philips hard storage drive model #spd5300cc/96b?
Answer:Sorry, but I don't know the answer. Good luck. No more than what it cost and the ease it is to return, you could give it a try.
 
Question:Will it fit my old sony camcorder? ccd- trv68? thank u.
Answer:Yes IF it has an "S" Video port on it.
 
Question:Acceptable formats for converting..ntsc,pal,secam?
Answer:Depends on where in the world you are. NTSC for USA. PAL for just about everywhere else.

It has no electronics by which it alone could convert signal type variants.
 
Question:I bought an s-video cable from another Amazon seller and it didn't fit into my cable box.Does anyone have a reason as I thought they were all 1size?
Answer:For those who may be reading in the future...
There are s-video-like cables intended for satellite receiver boxes that isn't the typical 4-pin DIN connector cables commonly referred to as "s-video" cables. It is likely the o.p. picked up one of those cables or the "cable box" is a satellite receiver box with a different DIN connector.
 
Question:Why does the description say this is an hdmi or rca cable, while the title says it's an s-video cable and there is a picture of an s-video cable?
Answer:I can't answer why except for sloppy copy writing. The picture is an S-Video cable.
 
Question:are the two metal parts connected?
Answer:I'm not sure what that means except that its one continuous cable. One end plugs to one side and the other plugs to the other side. Its pretty straightforward.
 
Question:How do I watch a dvd on a dedicated.non-cable box tv?
Answer:I'm going to assume the TV you have has a panel with “video/audio” input jacks on back as well cable(even though you don’t have cable h/p AND vhf(external antenna)inputs.That being the case you will need to look at your DVD manual and find the correct setup showing how to connect the video and audio cables from the DVD player to the input jacks on tv. Basically you’re using the TV as a viewing monitor. On mine I have a red and a white audio cable from the player that I plug into the L and R audio input jacks on panel on back of tv and a video cable that I plug into the video jack on the same panel. Your tV manual should tell you how to switch inputs from “tv” to “dvd” mode in order to play the DVD player. Hope this helps
 
Question:I bought an s-video cable from another Amazon seller and it didn't fit into my cable box.Does anyone have a reason as I thought they were all 1size?
Answer:They are usually used in converter boxes or computer video cards, specific prong alignment, only 4 prong and 1 center square, can only fit one way, hope this helped
