Quite correct by as I said in the original post all is not as simple as it first appears. Why can some DVD players output RGB signals and be only PAL compatible? If it worked as you have said it would always work, it doesn't.

As I indicated there are many versions of RGB and the syncing arangements. I didn't want to get too technical as I feel we loose many readers..

Agreed but this is not a level playing field.

Agreed, said basically that in the original post.
"To get a RGsB Scart signal a conversion needs to take place within the DVD player. This is easily accomplished with MINIMUM degradation."

Nice idea but the reality is often different. Why didn'y my old philps 50 hz show NTSC colour when run in RGB?

Ain't RGB a full bandwidth signal, and american component bandwidth limited? [/B]

RGB signals can certainly be a much higher bandwith than component hence I said
"For transferring DVD signal I recommend component signals. For transfer higher resolution signals (scaler to projector) I recommend proper RGBHV. Given the preference I would do all on BNCs."

Must do it to make it easier to adjust brightness, and other things |
Brightness, contrast, 100 hz and all those gizmos but it does appear on 50hz sets as well. Personally I think this a shameas I would much rather have 50 hz than 100hz but would prefer to hold out for progressive done correctly.
Remember the old Faroudja video processors (3000 / 5000?). They took component signals in and converted them to SVideo before doing the DcDi thing but they still component sockets on the thing.
What I am saying is be aware of how these devices work and try things out to see what works best for you. Some makes work really well with RGB, others less so. It is all down to the engineering and how things are done.
At the end of the day, if RGB Scart is so wonderful why don't we use it in plasmas and projectors routinely? Component rules the day here, ever wondered why?
