I know the one end goes to the back of my video card, but what about the rest. would I need a newer digital TV with the right ports?, is that what its for? If you could even just tell me what the cables called exactly I'll go look it up.

that cable is for hookin up to a tv and/or hdtv

that is a VIVO cable....it looks like it has plugs for you to input video from a camcorder/VCR etc and record on to your PC.

My tube sony TV only has a s-video in and its a female port. so I can't do it? is there an adapter for it?

Plug the end into the videocard and use the cable labled S-Video to plug into the TV and it should work right.

I have an MSI vivo 6600gt and it is easy to work.

Yeah, but, theres two ends that say s-video, One is in, one is out, both are female. the only s-video in on my tv is female also... thus the question, is there an adapter for it?

Don't bother with that cable, if you don't have a TV that supports it. Just get a short s-video to RCA adaptor. One should have come with your Graphics Card. I have about 4 lying around here, but I live in NZ, They can't cost much.

all s video cables that you buy at stores are males at both ends

Yeah, I didn't see that his TV also had s-video. Just get a normal s-video cable! Forget the crap cable you have now! Talk about making an easy task difficult!

Remember that s-video doesn't do sound, so you will need to hook up your sound seperately. I'm sure you can figure out how to do that without consulting with the forum first, can't you?
