Q. Can you use an S video cable to connect a VCR to a computer? And could somebody please explain to me a bit about the s video cable and what it can do when its connected to a computer. My computer has an s video cable port in the back but i dont know much about it. Thanx!
A. Okay, first, does your VCR have an S-video connector? Only good ones from the late 80's on sport one, sadly. If it doesn't, just use standard composite. S-video provides color seperation for better video quality, but VHS material looks marginal enough, especially in EP mode or when made with dirty heads, that it doesn't matter too much. If your VCR has S-video, make sure your computer's is for input and not analog TV-out display. If you don't have S-video in, drop a few bucks on a Taiwanese video capture PC card- spend more if image quality matters. Even the worst will have both composite and S-video in. Such a card will allow you to import VHS video and edit or view it as you see fit. I use mine to view VHS on my LCD monitor, but you can bring the video into something like Premiere, too.
Should I get a Apple Cinema display or a LCD TV for my Powermac G5?
Q. I am planning to buy some type of monitor for my Powermac G5. The Mac Cinema display is $899 and is 24 inches. However, I am thinking that I can get a decent sized flat screen tv for that price or less. My question is, would there be any lag using the tv for computer purposes such as video editing etc. Or should I just get the Cinema Display.
A. The Apple 24" LED Cinema Display will not work with your Powermac G5.
You will have to use some other monitor.
The LED Cinema Display will only work with the newer Macs that have a miniDisplayPort-- It will not work with older Macs that only have ACD, VGA or DVI.
