How to Convert a VGA Cable to an S-Video Cable
A video graphics array (VGA) cable is commonly used to connect a computer to a computer monitor or LCD television. If you would like to connect a computer to a television that does not have a VGA input, you can use a VGA to S-video converter to connect the computer to a television using the S-video jack. S-video converters can be purchased online from many different retailers, often for less than $10.
