Are the video outputs of a DVD player digital or analog signal?
The video outputs of most DVD players are analog signals. For copyright protection reasons, a DVD player does not output a digital video signal. The DVD-Video MPEG-2 encoded digital video information is converted to analog formats: (1) component video (with jacks labeled Y, Pr, Pb), (2) S-video, and (3) composite video. Component video output is the best quality, followed by S-video, then composite video.
