SVID -> RCA (composite) dongle/converter

My 350 came with a little S-vid -> RCA adapter, but because I did my config / learning curve in two sections, I forgot I had it and tried to buy one first. I came up with SHS's pinout, and a stupid "media switch" that purported to convert Svid to composite but didn't work.

For now I'm fine, but in future I think I may need another one of these little converters. Is anyone using more than one of these, and where can you buy them???? thanks

Cory

Hi Nielm,

thanks muchly for the link. I actually did visit radioshack, and they couldn't even confirm the existence of such a thing for me when I visited. Then another a/v electronics store saddled me with the video switcher much appreciated, thanks for posting

LOOK HERE for some that are better than the radio shack version, and a TON LESS!!!!

I used these to convert RCA to SVID for my Home Theatre system cause all I had was S-vid inputs. (When I had a VCR)

The quality is great, gold plated (pic does not do them justice). I will never pay ratshacks inflated prices!! (Their 30-40% off sales are closer to everyones elses price!)
