Hi,
I'm looking for a special kind of S-Video cable for my DVD Player.
Unfortunately, the DVD Player doesn't have the traditional S Video output jack (female where it accepts a male with 4 pins) instead, the output looks like a "female" headphone jack (ie it's a little hole), like the kind you find in camcorder video outputs..
I have no idea where to find an S Video cable that looks like this on one end. The end going to the TV will obviously be just a regular S-Video male 4 pin. Most S-Video cables you buy in stores have male 4 pin on both sides.

The DVD Player is the US Logic 680P. It's a cheapo player I got at CompUSA.
Does anyone know a place where I can get one of these? Or an adapter such that I can use a regular S-Video cable? I went to Radio Shack and they only had the typical S Video cables...if you have links please send them to me.
I have heard for cheap players using the S-Video won't improve picture quality much over composite....can anyone comment on that?
Also, how come S-Video cables vary so much in price? Are monster cables REALLY that much better than the generics? And is component that much better than S-Video? My DVD player unfortunately has no component out.
Please PM me if you have any ideas.
