Hi all,
I've tried to do some searching, here and on techtv site but I guess I'm just not doing it right. I can't find a thing to tell me what an s-jack is and what it can do. Got a video camera for Mother's Day, not a state of the art one, but it serves my purpose and it has an s-jack. Help, before I kill puter and camera and little digital camera and then start on family:D :D :D Thanks and Thanks, LG;)

S - jack feature is for out going Vidio to your vhs or tv.

Also can be a connection to your video capture card in your pc. In the pic, the 2 to the right are what the LeadTek WinFast has for a cable. If it mates to the camcorder you can go direct, otherwise connect a TV or VCR in between and use the cable (coaxial) connections. For sound use a mini jack, same as with soundcards. My camcorder has RCA jacks so I need the yellow one and another RCA to mini to hook up the sound.

You'll still need a card to capture video to your pc. They do make mpeg 1 + 2 so you don't need a DVD burner to make copies. Any old CD-burner is fine.
