Question
I have a philips dvd player with out s video socket. but i need to connect my this player in to my desktop. how to connect pl give help to me
Hi Suresh
There is no easy way to do this, and to give you the best answer I need to know what you are wanting to achieve?
In order to capture an S-video signal, you will need a video capture card... there are various options, ranging in price. Alternatively, does your desktop PC not have a DVD drive? This would allow you to play DVDs on your computer and even extract video from DVDs that are not copy-protected.
Please post a follow-up explaining what you want to do.
Regards
Jonathan
