I am trying to set up a home theater with the best possible video quality coming out of my InFocus LP640. I can get s-video to work just fine but want to use either the M1 or VGA inputs for a higher quality video. so far i can't get anything but a computer to work in these inputs. My gear: -InFocus LP640 projector ( http://www.aboutprojectors.com/InFocus-LP640-projector.html ) with: 1 x S-video input - 4 pin mini-DIN 1 x composite video input - RCA 1 x VGA input - 15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15) 1 x VESA M1 - M1-DA -Toshiba sd-3900 DVD player ( http://reviews.cnet.com/dvd-players/toshiba-sd3900/1707-6473_7-20847696.html ) with: 1X SPDIF output ( TOSLINK ) 1X S-Video output ( RCA phono ) 1X Component video output ( RCA phono x 3 ) 1X SPDIF output ( 4 pin mini-DIN ) 1X Composite video/audio output ( RCA phono x 3 ) -Joytech control center 540c ( http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=778399881035&cat=TVS ) -Xbox 360 -modded Xbox with RGB component cable Cables and adapters: -25 foot DVI-I to RGB Component cable ( http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10235&cs_id=1023504&p_id=2705&seq=1&format=2 ) -DVI-D Female to M1 Male adapter ( http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10419&cs_id=1041905&p_id=2675&seq=1&format=2 ) -M1 Male to VGA/USB Male adapter ( http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_SPM6208837902P?sid=IDx20101019x00001a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=SPM6208837902 ) -VGA Female to DVI-I Male adapter -VGA Male to DVI -I Female adapter -VGA Female Gender Changer -I have many 6 foot DVI, VGA, component and composite RCA's, and s-video cables lying around but i need at least 25 feet to my control center. whats the cheapest way to get HD signal to my projector? or should i just give up and buy a long s-video cable? will i see a big difference?

This is a very old projector. the DVI / M1 adapter input should work. you may have to feed the projector 1080i or 720p. It will not accept 1080p.
