I have an eVGA TI4200 video card and I was wanting to be able to use my DVD player on my comp to put movies on my 27" flat screen TV. I remembered my video card advertised it could hook up to a TV so I looked online and it said "S-Video out". So I went down to the local radioshack and got an S-Video cable. It plugs into the TV but not to the back of my card!!
In fact, I realize the connectors look NOTHING alike. So I cann eVGA to see if this was a misprint or just a sick joke. Turns out there was a converter that came with my card that by now could be in any of the houses/apartments/garbage cans I have been in since I got the card (I moved a lot going to school).
Anywho I called tech support and it turns out the connection I have is a 9 pin mini-din connector. The S-Video is a 4 pin mini-din connector. Now, I have done some reading and a LOT of searching. I know what I'm looking for but no idea where to get it!!
It doesn't matter to me what the connectors are as long as it's 9 pin to something that will go to my television: RCA, S-video (4 pin), or coaxil. Anyone have any idea where to get this aparent ancient cable from?
For those of you with no idea or maybe want a picture (I love diagrams), here is one:

I have to wonder WHY in the world they would advertise it as S-Video out when it's not even close! ....ok well actually it is close but it's not the exact same that that's what really counts here.
Oh well, thank you in advance for the help.
