How to install a s-video cord to get movies off line on to my tv?

Answer 1

Simply adding an S-Video port to a PC or laptop won't necessarily permit viewing of video content from a computer to a TV.  Specialized software is needed to "tell" the computer to output video thru the S-Video port, and probably, the video would need to be prepared in a very specific manner to even permit it.

Get a RGB or a DVI cable (depending what ports are on your computer and TV), and "mirror" the computer's monitor to the TV.

Not the best solution, but the easiest.

Another way is to invest in the Apple TV box.  It'll play anything that's in iTunes onto your widescreen TV.
