class="700584621-09062002">Conversion from Composite to
S-Video actually makes the picture slightly worse unless very expensive
circuitry is used but conversion from S-Video to Composite is much better.
Any conversion from one standard to another results in some loss of quality
so its is better to keep to the same standard wherever possible.
