All the LCD's in our house have DVI and VGA inputs. None support S-Video or any analog formats.

Our game systems (nes, snes, n64, ps, ps2, gamecube, etc..) and DVD and VHS players only have composite (the yellow/red/white cords..?) or S-Video (that PS2-input like cable..?).

How can I convert the signal these analog systems output to work on VGA or DVI?

  • Remember its from "S-Video to VGA/DVI" (DVD to LCD) which is hard to do and not "VGA to S-Video" (PC to TV) which is simple.

    I'm not really sure we are still in Super User's scope. I mean, it is around a computer LCD, but the question is really about connectors between things which are out of the scope. In doubt, though, not voting to close.

  • No, this does not belong on SuperUser. The faq explicitly prohibits gaming and game-console related questions.

    this is slightly gray area because it's a computer monitor, but it's really a question about home theater equipment which is offtopic here. try Home4Film or another StackExchange site.

    I used the game consoles as an example. I'm interested in the DVD/VHS on LCD thing. But man! I had no idea there were so many SE sites! Thanks for the link!

This can definitely be done, but you'll need the right adapter for the job. Check newegg, amazon, Radio Shack, etc for whatever adapter you need (ie S-Video to VGA, etc, etc). Some of these most certainly exist and others may not.
