I'll second svideo and audio over Cat5 cable(or any twisted pair really). I used to run a 30 foot or line of svideo over Cat5. I didn't buy any converters, I just got connectors and soldered it together. An svideo cable has two grounds, and two signals, put one ground and one signal in each twisted pair, you won't lose too much signal. That's the magic of twisted pair. At a later time I made a dual stereo mini extender for the 4 speaker surround sound. Again, putting one ground and one signal in each twisted pair. That worked fine as well.... never tried audio and video together in the same wire.... but it might work. -- Anthony Vito [EMAIL PROTECTED]
