100 foot S-Video Cable

We purchased a 2300 projector for our church.  In order to connect it with the video source we bought a 100 foot S-Video cable.  Unfortunately, the image is very poor quality and seems to have a ghost quality to it.  This only occurs with the long S-Vidoe cable.  Do you have a solution to this problem?  Is there a better alternative to covering the distance between these two items in order to geta high quality image?

    Is there a better way to transmit the signal to the project from this distance?  I am concerned that there will be significant loss of signal quality even with a very high quality cable.  The recommendation you made offers a 50 foot cable as their longest option.  Is there a wireless option?

    You should use a component cable instead.

    If you can use a VGA cable, VGA can run up to 300' and retain a good image.  I ordered an 80' cable from here: www.datapro.net
