I didn’t read the all discussion thoroughly, but generally speaking, S-Video is much better than composite(RCA), so if you have the choice then you should use the S-Video out option. You keep calling the component output HDMI but it’s 3 cables component connection(RGB) and not HDMI which is a different connection.

S-Video (also known as separate video and Y/C) is a signaling standard for standard definition video, typically 480i or 576i. By separating the black-and-white and coloring signals, it achieves better image quality than composite video, but has lower color resolution than component video.

Color rendering is a step better than s-video, but what’s more significant is that Y/Pb/Pr component video will also support higher resolutions and progressive scan, so if your video is running at 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, (or, for that matter, any other oddball resolution which your source and display devices both …

Why to use HDMI cables(HDMI v/s Component Cables)? Both work well, but of the two, HDMI is the better choice. It’s a single cable for both audio and video hook-up that delivers superior picture quality, surround-sound audio, 3D support, and more, verses multiple cables using component connections.

Yes, but most newer devices no longer come with S-Video ports. The only reason you’d need an S-Video cable is if you have an older device that only supports composite video. How do I connect my PC to my TV without S-Video? Other options for connecting your computer and TV include HDMI, DVI, VGA, and Thunderbolt.

thanks! S-video separates the colors in the video, so it does normally have better quality than composite. (The yellow video cable, along with the red and white audio cables.) However, your VCR must have S-video out and your capture device must have S-video in or you won’t see the improvement.
