best way to connect projector

Hi
I have a Samsung DVD R150 DVD player and an old Hitachi projector, I would like to connect them up and would like to know the best way.

Ignoring sound as this is already sorted.
On the Sammy is S-video, component video, scart and yellow video

On the projector is S-video, rgb 15pin d sub, and yellow video.

My guess is s-video is easiest option but is there any other better quality way using the rgb d sub?

Thanks in advance

his projector doesn't have comonent inputs.

op, either get a component to rgb converter (which means the quality will be dependant on the quality of the converter)or just use an svideo cable.

svideo > yellow video(composite)
