I want an S-Video to RCA adaptor, but they aren't cheap, so I was wondering if I build my own, what pins to connect where. I want to be able to watch videos from my iPod touch, and play games from my laptop on my television, so I'd need a longer one then Dick Smith sells anyway. I've made audio cables before, but not video cables.
In that case I'll purchase the ready made S-video/RCA cable, and an extension cable for it like Jasen suggested. I have an S- Video port on my TV, but I have no idea whether it's in or out, and the manual is long lost. I think it's more likely to be an input.

have you tryied this simple interface with just a capacitor?
i've did, the result sucks.
some devices with s-video output are abble (configuration option) to change from s-video to composite, if you have the output working in composite it will work fine, but that will be just composite to composite and you will just been adapting the pins from one socket to the pins of the other socket. if the device's output is just real s-video, then you will need a more complex interface than just a capacitor.
on other hand, if the device receiving has "orange" scart 21pins connectors, then you can make a real s-video to s-video, because orange connectors have real s-video in.
I'll just buy a regular S-Video cable, and connect it to the S-Video port on my TV. That will also let me play GTA: San Andreas on my laptop through my TV. My laptop also has an S-Video output (I think, just has the S-Video logo.)
