    so I got my easycap last week, i got the wii playing on it, i think it is a little too blurry when i put it in full screen and play it, right now, im only using video composite for it, i want to ask if the video quality will be better if i use s-video? I don't care about the recording, im not trying to record video with the easycap, i just want to play the wii on it, so will s-video help?

    The Wii doesn't support S-video.

    Composite or progressive scan.

    My apologies. The Wii does output S-video, but IMHO the difference between S-Video and composite is negligible, and the difference between Composite/S-Video and Progressive is only marginal.

    You're running through a capture device, which isn't helping since it's doing a conversion.

    IMHO, the quality won't be appreciably better.

    tjroon, start your own thread as per forum rules as hijacking another member's thread is a forum rule no no.
    8. Don't reply with an off-topic comment/question -- instead start a new thread.
