Well, in my case I shall hopefully be getting the bare PCB, or maybe an
assembled PCB - so hopefully I will be able to use whatever connectors suit
me.

I think as I'll only be carrying composite video, BNC connectors should be
small and reliable.  The audio I'm thinking about an s-video mini DIN
(which
would take up less room on the faceplate) or maybe 2 phonos.

Those of you not scared of soldering irons (Mark :-) ) could do the same.

You can't please all of the people all of the time....  :)  But Keith is
trying with no less than 7 variants!
