Right, but my idea was to connect the Wii to the Panasonic DVD player's S-video in and then through RGB Scart out to the TV.

How inferior would that be to a direct RGB scart or component connection, in terms of PQ?

If it was possible, there would be a slight decline in picture quality...

BUT, in order to accept the S-video NTSC signal, the DVD player must be able to decode it too.

OK, so how would I test that?

I have a Panasonic DMR E65.

Would playing an R1 DVD and connecting the player to the TV via S-video be enough?

Not really, because if testing that way didn't work, the problem may be with the TV, not the player but you wouldn't know which.

Although if it can play NTSC DVDs then I would have thought that it probably can accept an NTSC source through S-video. I couldn't be certain though.

So, you are saying that there is no difference between RGB Scart and S-video?

I'm not saying there's no difference, but some people have reported that the S-VIDEO output from their DVD player actually looked better than RGB SCART even though RGB is technically superior.

By the way, your DVD recorder won't convert S-VIDEO to RGB. It will however pass through S-VIDEO and output it via SCART. You will get better quality results if you connect directly to the TV.

Does your TV have an S-VIDEO socket or 2 SCART sockets the second of which is S-VIDEO compatible? If only the latter is true you you could buy the Wii S-VIDEO cable and use an S-VIDEO to SCART adapter, such as this one. If your TV doesn't support S-VIDEO there is no point buying a Wii S-VIDEO cable!

Then there's the issue of the DVD player being able to accept NTSC over S-video - we can't be sure it does.
