    I have my tv in one room and the computer in another and i want the picture from the computer to show up on the tv screen instead of the computer screen, i have two DVI ports on the back of my computer, and two ports thats say "vid in" that are s-video.

    Im guessing i would need a "vid out" port if i wanted to use the s-video, right? So, is there some kind of converter i can use to make DVI into S video?

    Also, what would the quality be like? Would it be better to just get another video card with a S video "vid out" port and put that in my computer?
