im not sure if any of you have seen the Amiga video connector but if you had , youd notice that the Amiga connection is male and that you need a 23pin Female connector to scart. ( I assume you all know the difference between male and female right ? :)

Also all this talk of composite ...why ? if youd ever used it youd know its not an option to even concider when you can have nice rgb output, the image quality just cant be compared :) .

You're absolutely right for the two facts -)

Composite video is what it's name suppose : a mixing of Red Green Blue and Composite Synchro signals, PAL or NTSC or SECAM encoded, with all the degradations to the sharpness, résolution and colors purity that's include :-(

Result is a poor quality signal just good enough for VHS recording ;
OTOH RVB video is the BEST signal you can get and must be used whenever possible :-D
