What TV are you using, quality will improve not just not just on the cords but the output device as well.

1080i plasma by Samsung. Just checked again and composite is about the same as without the converter. The strange thing is that while S-Video works fine with 3DO, my Gamecube on S-Video only shows a black and white image. This is likely an issue with the cord, as it's one of those "works with everything except Dreamcast" video cables.Originally Posted by bugrouleau
Are there any NTSC VHS players with SCART input and output? They would go well with my setup.
I don't think so, and it's not like you'll get any quality jump over composite that way. The best video quality you'll get out of VHS is composite video unless you have an S-VHS VCR which uses S-video.

I've seen some VHS/DVD combo players that I think have component output. Would that be for just the DVD side or both sides?
That's only for the DVD side, the only VHS players that I know have component outputs are a few broadcast decks and DVHS machines which are becoming more rare and expensive. There was a weird VHS Blu-Ray combo deck that Panasonic put out a few years ago that had HDMI out for both sides, but it's way over priced now days. When it comes to VHS, S-VHS decks are the best and cheapest route to go since VHS has a low resolution to begin with.

"...leave love bleeding, in my hands, in my hands again..."
Specifically S-VHS decks with a TBC/DNR circuit. Not all S-VHS decks have these features, but these are what make S-VHS decks so desirable for normal VHS tapes. If you're going to bother with a really good VCR to play back tapes you might as well get a good one, otherwise you might as well just stick with a regular deck.
