I want to connect my computer's HDMI output to a standard DVD recorder S-video input. Will the picture quality be acceptable?

That's exactly what I tried (except I think you meant HDMI output, not input). It didn't work at all for this particular converter. I'm going to try a more expensive converter that looks identical and supposedly does the same thing, but I haven't ordered it yet.

I'm afraid not. I bought the VCR to do VHS digitization on my computer, but found that the S-VHS output is only for the DVD player. The out from the VCR is standard composite video.

If the DVD had an hdmi port just use an hdmi.cable. Look into an rf modulator if it doesn't.

If you have an older (non-HD tv), using the HDMI is pointless, just use the best hookup your tv DOES have, which would probably be Composite (the red/blue/green cable), followed by S-Video if it's even older, or the component (yellow) cable as your last resort.Component cables will transfer up to 1080i quality, and will be more than enough for a standard CRT television.

My laptop has an hdmi and my tv had a vga it works fine and the picture looks more sharper than a normal vga so it won't be blurry this is perfect for what you're trying to do.

Yes, you have to use a cable converter type box or some other form of tuner to feed the input of the DVD recorder

You mean HDMI "Output" on computer. That should work.Advantage of buying from Amazon is you can return it if it don't work :)Good Luck.

Depending on your DVD player the highest quality is with an HDMI cable. There is also a component video input and a composite video input on the TV

It has 2 RGB inputs which carry the component signal. All you need is a RGB to component cable, you can get them on Amazon for like 4 bucks. Most DVD players have component out. By the way Component is capable of carring a full HD signal in analog format, you won't notice any difference in picture quality verses HDMI. RGB does not carry any audio signal. So you would have to hook up audio seperately.

Yes, you may connect with VGA out or s-video out if your monitor has s-video connectivity

Make sure you go to the input setup in the menu and choose the video input associated with the input "DVD" etc and choose component not HDMI

yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the... » Read More yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. « Show Less

I don't know, what I did was use an HDMI input to change to a s-video output, I did not try to use component video or composite video output

Hi,I assume you are trying to record the VCR to the DVD recorder. There is a yellow (composite) video OUT on the VCR, plug that to the grex IN, then the grex OUT plug into the DVD recorder source IN. Then set your DVD recorder to the source IN you plugged in and record. The DVD recorder HDMI to TV has no purpose in the recording, only for watching the recording so it's fine.

I do not know. What I did was google what I needed to do. DVD Component output to HDTV Component Input.

Not right out of the box, but you can use an HDMI-to-VGA adapter like this: Generic HDMI Input to VGA Adapter Converter For PC Laptop NoteBook HD DVD (we use this in our school to connect to the older VGA monitors or the VGA projectors), you could build one using the Pi's GPIO board (https://www.raspberrypi.org/gert-vga-adapter/), or you could buy a completed connector for the GPIO via this Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pisupply/gert-vga-666-kit-hardware-vga-for-raspberry-pi
