Hello,
I bought a Japanese camcorder a few years ago. I have the English manual for it so there is no problem except for 1 thing, the S-video feature. I think it might be different then what I have in my camcorder.
So I just need someone to please tell me what the top and bottom menus mean in English.
Thank you.
Please click on the image below to see it full size.

The top one says "Video" and the bottom one says "S-Video"(Seperate Video).
Hope it helps...

Haha, I guess that should put a stop to my always thinking that "S" means "super!"

Huh? S-Video is Super Video. At least in the west. I guess we could argue about HD versus Hi-Vision as well.

So is it safe to always think that "S" = "super" again?

Sorry, wikipedia said it's "Seperate". So I followed it.
S-Video - Wikipedia
The "S" as in S-VHS means "Super" but "S-Video" means "Seperate" and not "super" it says.

Web definitions of s-video seem to be split between "separate video," "super video," and "separated video." I'm gonna stick with "separated video" from now on.
