Why is it when every time i try to run a DVD or a CD or even a video game on my computer no window starts up - no instructions for installement no DVD or any player program starts up?

It could be that your cd/dvd drive is either not hooked up correctly, or youd do not have the correct driver to run your cd/dvd. First, check to make sure that all wires are in good shape and there are no loose connections. Then, check for the driver component (assuming you are on a PC, not a MAC) by opening the control panel, click on the system icon, and under the hardware tab, choose Device manager. This will show weather or not you have a working driver for your cd/dvd drive. Updates can often be found online for free. If you are using windows, the Microsoft web site may have driver updates, if that's what you need.

What is the maximum length for S Video cable and how do you increase the range?

There are a lot of issues that can develop when running long lengths of cable. A safe length for S-Video is 150ft. This length is subject to signal strength from the source unit and being run in an area that is relatively free from interference.

If you need to increase this length, you can use a device called an S-Video Balun. The S-Video Balun is a stand alone device that transforms a single S-Video channel to and from CAT-5 twisted pair cabling. CAT-5 cable is much cheaper than S-Video and can be run up to a maximum of 500 ft.

How many colors in high definition Television?

HD television is captured and stored as a component signal using 20 bits. The separate bits are used in such a way that the data can store what is effectively a 30 bit signal so there is a theoretical 1 billion colors available.

HD video in the studio requires a bandwidth of 1.5Gb (1500 megabits per second) and for transmission, this needs to be compressed to signals that are around 5 - 6 megabits. In doing this compression, much of the color information can be lost so 1 billion colors are never seen on a domestic television. That is rarely a problem as our color perception means we are quite happy watching programs with much less color information.
