Not exactly the same thing, as composite splits the video down the line differently than S-Video does. The point isn't about the connector, but the slightly higher video quality. (Coax, composite, s-video, component, vga, dvi/hdmi)
No. S-Video splits the chroma and luma signals. The resulting image is vastly superior. For interlaced SDTV signals, there is no perceptible difference between S-Video and Component. S-Video is FAR better than composite. Adapting them is just stupid.

great advice, except you could just go to ebay and get a Composite to S-Video adapter for $.01

ok so adapting it won't fix like dot-crawl, but if you cared about that much you wouldn't have been dumb enough to buy a TV with only S-Video ins
