 	OK.  I guess I could clarify that.  *GOOD* S-vid isn't that much 
worse than component.  Unfortunately, many of the cards with tvout have 
such sucky quality that it's unusable.  The homebrew hardware I built to 
do s-vid from VGA gives results essentially the same as the component 
adapter... just modulated as NTSC.  I have long since given up on TVOUT 
from video cards for quality reasons.
