Extra length s-video cable

Does anyone know of a high quality manufacturer of s-video cables that makes extra long cables? I have no option other than to run inside a wall (can't use connectors) to a ceiling mounted LCD projector. Length would need to be 75ft.
 
Run two shielded RG6 coax cables and then use this on either side:

BNCs make for more sturdy connections, however you can also use RCAs:

S-video is great for a general-purpose video run, though I'd consider any future upgrades and perhaps run three cables (for eventual component video) even though it may cost you a tiny bit extra now. Leave the extra wire tucked away for later.

I would add the following:

1. A single RG-6 cable for composite
2. 2 pieces of RG-6 for s-video (with s-video adapter)
3. 3 pieces of RG-6 for component (HDTV is your friend! Better DVD quality as well)
4. At least 1-piece of CAT-5, you never know when you may want to add some control to this thing.
5. If you think you might build a home theater PC or hook a computer up, you can run an additional FIVE pieces of RG-6 for a computer hookup.

In lieu of a ton of cables, or in ADDITION to a ton of cables, I would definitely try to get at least one piece of 3/4" conduit to the projector location.

This is all based on you finishing up the walls so you can't run any cables later on of course.
