Default [Answered] How do I?

hello everyone. I was wondering what i should get to watch my movies on my computer, on my TV . I dont have HDTV or nothin , so i dont need the fanciest equipment, i just need to know what i should get to watch the movies on my PC at the best quality a normal TV can play, atleast as good as my dvd player . Ive been looking at alot of cheap pc-tv converters on ebay . Some say they are compatible with resolutions of 480x640 , 1024x768 , 1600x1200 etc . Which is the resolution it needs to play the best it can on a regular TV ? i dont wanna buy a 1600x1200 if all i need to watch DVD player quality with 480x640 . My pc is set to 1024x768 and the movies play good on the PC. My TV doesnt have a S-video in or nothing, i have a VCR hooked up to it , so i have rca ins (i think thats the composite in) . What is the least i need in a pc-tv usb device foe me to view my movies on a TV with atleast DVD player quality ? thanks .

EDIT:
You have hijacked this persons post Piano so I am moving your post to a brand new thread called "How do I" please consult that for answers.

By the way welcome to PC Help Forums PK.
What you may need is an S video to RGB wired SCART.
If the Tech Team can't answer this then have a look at AV Forums Home

MY graphic card is "Integrated Intel Extreme graphics with up to 64 MB shared video memory" according to the specs. It doesnt have an s-video connection. I dont wanna get another card because it takes way more trouble to install and requiring troubleshooting. i wanna get one of the usb pc-tv devices . please help

will these be good enough to watch my movies on my TV as good as if i was playing them in the DVD player ? the second one doesnt say anything about any "anti-flicker" ability. is that really important ? or they just made that feature to sell more expensive products ? please help
