What other solution do people use for outputting from their PC to a normal TV that has an RGB Scart ?
Thanks,

That looks ideal, but what is the quality like compared to RGB ? Is it good enough for using with a PVR system that needs to display menus etc ?

s*t*a*r*m*a*n said:I have the skystar 2 satellite card cheaper model with no tv out and a 9800 pro ati graphics card with tv out and super video out. It came with a little yellow adaptor to convert to super video if required. I have used the super video cable successfully and had the desktop picture coming out to the tv and it looks great with the satellite tv card running with progdvb channels in full screen so i saved a good bit by not paying more for the tv out this way,better to buy a better graphics card me thinks BUT...... I am not getting any sound coming through the super video channel only picture but it works fine in normal RGB going out through yellow adaptor converting from super video pins to single video out then it goes to scart in video, acceptible results but i was wondering why is the sound signal not being carried properly through the super video cable? video settings are all fine and there is no way to change anything. obviously super video is much better quality so i would prefer this as it does have this capability.
s*t*a*r*m*a*n said:the super video ends in a din socket (9 pins or something) just like it is on the other end. i thought it was ment to carry the whole signal including audio? why would i need a separate audio connection? anyway i have the audio coming out of the pc but its going into the audio in jacks on the video left and right so i get the sound on L2 channel SCART 1 (it has 2 scart inputs) but i can only get picture and sound together if i use the rgb out into the scart which carries the picture and audio seperately.
s*t*a*r*m*a*n said:Hi its a 4 pin actually, i was just guessing but surprisingly it is only 4 pins. great picture no sound if connected directly into super video in on video recorder, im happy enough with my tv set up but im fed up giving up on problems like this without knowing why they do not work. surely the cable is carrying the audio signal too? what use would that be if it was not?
i have had this same problem before using my capture card on another pc. picture in to computer using usb connector but no sound.

Still cant believe though that a super video cable connected to a graphics card super video out only seems to carry the picture and not the sound aswell.
