Oh yes, S-Video has two signals on two wires for video whereas composite just has one (and component has three)
I hope you were using S-Video end-to-end when you were doing ripping
Yeah I sort of assumed the same, that whatever's in the capture card is good enough, but I saw some people on Digitalfaq mentioning separate audio cards. Not sure if it really matters or if it's just a sort of belt-and-suspenders approach.
Yes, I definitely used S-Video between all of the devices. I was trying to squeeze as much quality out of those tapes as I could ^^
I had never come across that discussion about using audio cards but I wonder if it makes a difference or if it's similar to ripping vinyl or cassette at 24bit / 96khz. There's no information abovea certain point and you're just capturing to allow flexibility for any post processing.
