Difference between dvi and s-video

Hi,
I set up my bb xm with driver for a frame grabber, developed an application, bla… bla…
I used the dvi mode for better view during development.

Now I changed to s-video, but the frame grabber doesn’t work anymore. The command I use is:

mplayer -vo omapfb /dev/video0:input=1 tv:// -fs

in s-video mode, I get this output:

Exiting… (End of file)

But /dev/video0 is still there.
Reboot in dvi mode, the same command works again.

So, what are the differences between the two modes? I thought it is just the video output but it seems it changes something other!
Thanks in advance

Sorry for “upping” this thread, perhaps it has gone unnoticed.
