Connecting PC to old style projector

I have a projector that only accepts bnc (coax) inputs. I have video cards with VGA, DVI, and tv-out (s-video and RCA). I had an S-video to BNC converter, but the projector's video output quality stunk. I tried connecting directly to a TV via RCA, and again, the video quality was almost unusable.
Because the card uses a splitter like cable to create the S-video and RCA ports from the single TV out port on the card, I'm wondering if that port, or splitter is bad.

What I'd like is a way of converting the DVI or VGA to a single BNC. Anyone have a suggestion? All of the converters I can find produce BNC-5 ends. I've just ordered a new (cheaper) card with an actual S-Video port on it, which will eliminate the need for the TV-Out to S-video/RCA converter, but in using it, I'm loosing the performance of my better card.

Thanks for any assistance.

Those are exactly what I was refering to as BNC-5. While perfect for other applications (HD TV?), they simply arn't anything I can use.

any other ideas?

Thanks for the input!
