    What's a composite cable?

    Forgive my ignorance about audio/visual stuff... I need to know exactly what a composite cable is. I know s-video cables are no good for me... I have an old VCR that I need connected to my computer for mpg/avi captures. I'm looking at the ATI TV-Wonder USB and ATI states:

    "provide video input via an S-Video or Composite connection
    and would allow video capture from a VCR." "The coaxial input is only for cable TV."

    I thought the same cables you would use to connect VCR to TV (and vice versa) were "co-axial" cables... or are these called composite cables?

    Thanx.

    Coaxial cables are the ones with the thin little piece of copper wire protruding - that you have to carefully screw into the connector...
