DVI to HDMI converter is the way to go. S-Video/Component will still give you an analog signal. DVI is a digital signal and HDMI is also a digital signal so this will give you the best picture. The only difference between DVI and HDMI is that HDMI has audio and video whereas DVI only has video.

I agree with Agent, in the line of video output/inputs, S-Video anything is always the lowest quality.
