StarTech.com DVI-D Dual Link Digital Video Monitor Cable - DVI extender - 1.8 m

StarTech S-VIDEO to USB 2.0 capture cable

Advantages: Small, cheap, does what it says on the box
Disadvantages: none

I had to transfer some old VHS into DVD for convenience so I did browse the internet looking for something really good yet easy to use and most important not expensive. I found a lot of very good reviews about this product, so I decided to give it a go and bought one, well I have to say that it works beautifully, the manual is very clear, the installation was a breeze, the software bundled is very useful and whilst I'm writing the device is currently helping me to transfer my 10th tape and counting... The video output is surprisingly good in particular using the composite input, I checked with "graphedit" the directshow codecs used and they are the one provided by the bundled software, however because the device is a WDM compliant device you can use any capture software that will convert to MPEG2 with better codecs, again this is just ...

Review of StarTech.com S-Video to USB 2.0 Video Capture Cable

Official Wii Component Video Cable

Advantages: Far better picture than standard composite, better looking games
Disadvantages: Expensive, Only needed for larger screens 32" or greater

After the release of the little white bundle of joy on the 8/12/2006 people were given a composite cable to show off their new shinny new console. AV enthusiasts all know a composite signal is the poor quality option for showing video on their TV's - what people really want is RGB or Component video input. As console manufactures are out to make a profit they usually bundle the cheapest and most compatible option with the console and then release upgrades to that product for people who need or want it. Nintendo understand this and have released two video upgrade options - the Wii RGB cable or the Wii Component cable. Lets get things straight from the off, The Nintendo Wii is not a High Definition Console, What this cable does offer is a enhanced image resolution of 480p. I finally got hold of the component video cable after ...

Review of Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable

Put computer on the big screen watch movies.

Advantages: Quite cheap good pictures for movies.
Disadvantages: Not the best quality picture no gold plating no audio

different thoughts on that. With a five meter cable it reaches more than far enough for me make sure five meters is enough distance for you there are many different lengths of cable from Hama you don't want to have to much cable either trust me I have been there with other cables. This version of DVI connectors is DVI-D dual link there are there are four other kinds http://pptblog.tlccreative.com/media/DVIConnectors.JPG The only thing that changes is the amount of pins in the connectors the DVI-D dual link has 25 connector pins 24 are the same while one is larger. All being considered it's a handy cable and well worth it, for watching some online TV shows on the big screen. I watch prison break and was watching lost in high quality a nearly a full week before it came out here in the UK. I best not say were I found these TV ...
