S-Video is a higher quality method for delivering luminance and chrominance signals. The quality is improved by eliminating the need for the filtering processes that degrade video output. The method is simple - don't combine the signals in the first place. If the signals are always separate, never combined, then no filtration is required. The resulting image is more precise.

composite=trash
RGB=better than composite
S-Video=as good as it gets on a television

Hope this helps. :)
