It looks like an S-Video jack. This is a connector that works with a video device.

If you need to connect your PC to your TV then the best bet, IMHO, is to get a Creative Labs Video Blaster card. Mine works great and I can watch TV in a window.

Forgot to say, if you don't have a specialty card already, an S-Video jack will not plug into your PC.

Well nix the Creative solution, it's no longer made.

Look at these options:

An excellent choice for pc-tv connections is the ATI All-in-Wonder series of cards. Older versions can be had on eBay for cheap (I paid about $30 for a 1998-series card). Top of the line brand new cards go for about $140.

ATI All-in-Wonder is really the gold standard for video capture and tv-out applications.

Thanks for the advice. I'm trying to convert this to get a movie done for a project that I did on the computer. Here's another idea/question, please reply if you know.

Can DVD burners burn MPG files onto a CD and thus create a DVD? Kind of like how I have a CD burner and I can create my own CD (with legal songs of course, as I'm no longer in Kazaa).

Thanks for your time and avice!
