    S-video is better as it seperates the colors of the picture, if you look on the lead it has many different pins. Composite does not and mixes the signal. S-video for superior picture.

    I've had problems in the past with S-Video. Using a scart through to S-Video cable, the quality was atrocious, but the composite was fine. If you can get it to work, use SV, otherwise make do with the reliability of composite.

    cheers

    PS If you do get it to work, tell me how! biggrin
