Sturdy Little Cable!
It does what it should and it does it well. Plus, this cable is built to withstand a LOT of pulling and plugging, twisting and moving. No technical faults at all, works perfectly. So if you have a need to plug your yellow RCA video cable into a handy, dandy S-Video port, this is the cable for you. Works the other way too...if you have an S-Video output and you're trying to feed it to an RCA video jack, works perfectly. Last but not least....this is a very inexpensive solution for such things. Inexpensive, durable, functional....just like my wife. You can have the cable, and I strongly recommend you have one of these hanging around the house (you never have one when you really need one, do you?), but you can't have my wife. Sorry!

The only one worth getting
I bought two other similar products first because I needed S-Video female to Composite male and neither of those other adapters worked at all. They were both wired wrong. Obviously never tested. If you need something that works, get the StarTech one. They make an actual, real product. Even if you need to pair it with some male/female adapters, just get the adapters. Don't waste your time anywhere else. For context, I used this to connect an S-Video modded Atari 800XL to a Composite monitor. The mod disables native composite video, so StarTech's adapter allowed me to use it with my monitor without undoing the mod. Picture is crystal clear, everything looks exactly as expected. A+ adapter, it just works.

It does the job but may be slightly overpriced.
If you are looking for a cable to quickly convert S-Video to Composite Video or back this does the job very nicely. As long as you are aware that Composite Video is an inferior signal in quality of picture compared to that of S-Video and you know what to expect you shouldn't have a problem with it. The most important thing here is that it does the job nicely. My biggest criticism is that for only a couple dollars more you would have a choice to convert to Component Video as well. In my case I was looking for a space saving and permanent connection from an old Apple PowerBook to an old Sony Trinitron Vega SDTV and it worked just fine. I set up the connection quite a long while ago and it still functions well. If you have something similar in mind then you will definitely not be disappointed with the results that you will get from this adapter. It works! If you are looking for a slim-line, more compact, and cheaper solution this may be the one for you. It was for me!

Hit And Miss
Worked fine with a mid-90s Magnavox but gave only B&W when fed into an Emerson of the same era.

EZ adapter and EZ fix
This little adapter performs perfectly. I use it to connect the S-video out port on my XP laptop to the composite video input on our TV. The picture is clear and the adapter is the essence of simplicity and functionality. I thought it would take much more money than 5 dollars to enjoy the internet on our 1987 TV set. What a wonderful surprise and an easy fix!

Made Unsightly Distortions
I had bought this to try to address an issue with a VHS capture peripheral that caused some rainbow effect distortions. I had thought that by isolating the input using the SVideo capture that it would reduce or eliminate undesired capture artifacts ... This device amplified those artifacts and undesired VHS effects by a significant degree. I'm not certain what product to recommend instead but it is definitely not this one.

Muy buena relación calidad/precio, me sirvió para pasar una señal compuesta de conector S-Video a BNC (utilicé un adaptador RCA-BNC). Cuando lo pedí pagué 4.19 € por él como producto Plus, ahora quizás esté demasiado caro y haya otras opciones mejores. Edito: compré una segunda ud. después a través del vendedor Janun Informática y se trata del mismo artículo, funciona para video compuesto sin problema.

Ages ago we were given the full set of Jesse Stone DVD’s but the last few were region 1 so via an old Svideo to scart connection we were able to play them on the laptop and watch them in black & white on our LG TV (which has no Svideo inputs). This was very atmospheric, cool & old-school (for those of us brought up on B&W telly) but as we’ve recently started playing an excellent computer based Rummikubs clone, it occurred that it would be much nicer playing on the telly rather than huddled around the little laptop. With coloured tiles, however, B&W is totally useless. After much research and experimentation, this little cable seemed to be the simplest answer and, not surprisingly, it works perfectly. We now get full colour via the computer’s Svideo output. Not unexpectedly with component video, the picture quality, though not too bad, is not brilliant either. However, while poking about at the back of the telly I noticed an RGB VGA connection. As the laptop also has a VGA output I simply plugged a spare VGA cable that I had knocking about into the respective connectors, messed about a bit in Windows 7 and Bob’s your uncle; a really crisp picture. This inexpensive little cable is therefore redundant for its original purpose, but I’m sure it will come in handy some time or other.

It works, seems high quality. This is my 2nd StarTech product and haven't had any issues with them.
