StarTech.com Composite and S-Video to DVI-D Video Converter with Scaler

StarTech S-VIDEO to USB 2.0 capture cable

This particular connector is the only one to my knowledge that has the svhs input. I've seen and used others which have only the three phono inputs. However these tend to be just silver quality whereas this is gold (gives you a better connection which also results in a better picture quality - but any connector is only as good as the equipment your plugging into), also the others tend to be just locked to ...
