First of all, I tried telling the truth, and told it the output was going from the s-video out. That didn't work... and I thought I had been wasting my time  Then I decided to lie to it, and told it that the output was coming from the composite, and, hey presto - I have colour output, but no idea why. Maybe I have misunderstood the way these things work, but never mind  |
The s-video-like sockets on video cards are not usually actually s-video pin configurations, and may be composite only or s-video and composite. Most manufacturers usually provide input and output connectors (or a combined connector) with their cards: for best results and, particularly if you want to get proper s-video out, it's best to use these connectors.
Incidentally, PAL-I seems to be the TV standard used in this country.
