I've scrolled past this meme countless times, but somehow I didn't think of this before now: What does an composite video signal sound like?Anyone have the hardware to test it out and record the sound for me?

I've opened serial terminals to serial mice, and I've abused /dev/dsp with random binaries I've fancied at the moment, but it never dawned on me to plug the red or white RCA jack into the yellow port in the mame of science, and now I only have audio RCA..

EDIT: Composite video, not s-video

Back when radio shack was there to help you figure out how to connect the thing to the other thing. The usual problem was you had the one multi-colored thing, and the thing it was supposed to connect to did not have matching colors or matching anything at all.

If you get the hang of this, quantum chromodynamics are going to be like a walk in the park.

The only one that was hard was RGB. Any only because it had 2 reds and some cables didn't distinguish which red was which.

You have to do it without looking tho. That said, I actually found them easier than hdmi. With hdmi, even if I have it the right way I sometimes think it's the wrong way because it isn't aligned properly.

wasnt about getting the colors right (which was a challenged trying to get cables connected in tight confines..) it was about how fucking tight those sockets were, and the closer the plugs were, the tighter they were by some bizarre happenstance, so ones super tight up against eachother like that would be near impossible to shove in, especially in cramped confines that you typically had to work in.

Lol

Fr real. Also, am I old now? I'm not even eligible for jail yet.

I had two pieces of equipment to connect and when I matched the colors it wouldn't work. I had to swap two of the colors. I think they misprinted the colors on the unit.

The real struggle was explaining the input button to your parents afterwards, and how your video games did not break the TV.
