I ordered soome parts in the mail to do a Genesis s-video mod and the resistors I ordered came like this:
The video I'm following had different ones:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDYxiuvPly0 (42 seconds in)
Will these still work?

Re: Resistors
It doesn't matter what type they are, as long as you got about the correct resistance. The ones that you got are carbon composition, probably manufactured by ohmite. Those are one of the oldest types of "modern" resistors, and ohmite has been around forever. Those will be fine. For most applications, you can just go with the cheapest ones. For audio applications, different audiophiles will prefer different types of resistors; some will like carbon (many like vintage carbon ones), some like metal foil, etc.
The resistors in the video are of the metal foil variety.

Re: Resistors
use the color code to find out the resistance, and if it is the same resistance as the resistors in the vid then they will work
