i need a way to get S-Video out on my DP G4 Tower.

boi

official breaker of macs.
i bought the new DP 867 w/ATI 9000 in hopes that this great video card would have some sort of video out other than monitor out. nope.
oh well.
how can i get s-video out on this machine without switching video cards? can i add another? is there some sort of PCI video out thing that's not a video card as well?
also, what about audio? what if i need audio out? can anyone suggest a good card?

thanks.
 
im not sure about a video card, but you can get the formac
studio which has s video in and out, coaxial cable in and out
and has firewire connectivity. i use it to transfer my old
analog camcorder clips to iMovie and also to watch
TV.

go to www.formac.com
for more info
 
On the issue of the s-video out:

You can pick up a PCI Radeon 7000 card for about $120 or less. They have dual-monitor support, and it's a PCI card, so you can add it to your current system and have up to three monitors running (possibly 4, if the AGP card you already have supports dual-monitors). Plus it has a direct s-video out port. How's two monitors and a TV all at the same time sound?

I have this card and swear by it as a secondary monitor card. Cheap and efficient.
