I want this to run to the S-video in on my DVD burner. Will it actually convert a standard composite video signal to S-video for better quality?

I don't know about it being able to improve the quality of the file passing through. But it does allow you to connect items which need composite jacks and you only have svideo available. I used this to connect my older wd media player to a TV which didn't have the yellow video input jack.

We hooked our computer to a Magnavox dvd player and it worked great. This was for a non-hd tv and dvd burner, so I don't know whether it works for hd. Hope this helps.

No. It just converts the composite signal to end up on the right s-video pins. If the burner has a composite video input, you should use that instead. There will be some insertion loss from the adapter.

No. This is intended to use where a composite input is not available. The composite signal will always be of less quality that an original S-VHS.

There are 2 outputs on this converter. One is S-Video and the other is composite. They are both hot (active). When you plug into one, it does not stop the signal from the other.

I 'm not sure. I got one to try to adapter the S-video of a TV to the video input on a DVD and, due to the pin location on the S-Video it didn't work for me in this respect, but did work at other times. In your case, I think it depends on the S-Video's pin set up.

I don't know if it is actually an S-video connector or just similar, but the monitor 'kit' comes with the other end (both male and female) connectors. This adapter converts the wiring to two rca connectors (one male, one female, and supports two video signals/channels) a power wire, a ground wire, and some other accessory wire (I haven't determined what the accessory wire is for). Even if this is an S-video plug, the wiring has obviously been customized for this application. It may not work with another dedicated (prewired) S-video plug, hence, the manufacturer included the conversion wiring harness with the monitor.

Dear friend, thank you for your question. There is a switch "S-VIDEO/CVBS" on the back of this converter. Please turn it to the correct side. For example, when you use S-video output port of this converter, please turn it to the side of "S-VIDEO", the left side. When you use AV (CVBS) output port of this converter, please turn it to the side of "CVBS", the right side. In addition, there is a "PAL/NTSC" switch. Please swtich it to both sides to have a try. Hope that this will be helpful. Have a nice day! Best regards,KeedoxMaria

Thats all I did with this cable. Just plug it into your comp, or dvd player and it should work like a charm.

Umm, It really depends on what you are plugging into your system. DVD Player, Blu-Ray Player, Video Game system, Cable Box, Tivo. If your device has a plug for HDMI use that, it has the best video signal and has audio also. If not the next step down is Component video (blue, green, red) and you can get a good HD signal from that. You would want to stay away from S-Video and Composit (yellow video plug) if you can help it. But again it had to do with what components you have. Also stay away from Monster Cables. They are very good but VERY expensive and not worth the money for most people. You can get a $10 HDMI cable from amazon and it will work fine. A Monster HDMI will run you about $100.Hope this helps.

Sorry about this mis-remembered thing. Perhaps an s-video to component adapter would solve this.

No, this converts component input to HDMI output. This is for DVD players and game consoles that use component cables. What you need is an HDMI to COMPOSITE (RCA yellow, white and red cable) converter, or just a composite cable for your Tivo.

I compared 3 units, including this one, they all work. But the unit from J&R; did a better job, better quality image.http://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Universal-Composite-S-Video-Converter/dp/B00AQ4HF7G

While I have not personally tested that, there is a S-Video input and VGA output (and there's an S-Video and VGA cables included), so as long as the correct input setting is selected, this device should work for what you are asking.

Hi Sandy. I bought this as a refurbished machine to attempt to convert my dad's old video camera recordings to DVD. I plugged the camcorder cable into the front input of the DVD recorder, and it worked perfectly. I made a set of DVDs for my mom and brother for Christmas that year. The only inputs on this DVD recorder are the S-video or the component (red, yellow, green), so as long as your VCR will plug into either of those, it should work as well as mine did. Good luck!

Yes It Will... Go on Wikipedia.. Type in ANY video connector you want and it will tell you in detail! S - video HDMI etc.

For an RCA device, I doubt it. That's what I got mine for, and it didn't work at all. S-video may or may not work, never tried that, but I wouldn't recommend buying this at all.

yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the... » Read More yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. « Show Less

sorry- I don't know- I just use it for straight HD/composite conversion from my laptop to my ancient tube TV
