i raised that question a few times in another forum, all my replies are: they use diff signals, cannot be converted, thus no such converter exist..

but i saw one in a photo somebody posted, nobody knows where to get it... =S

I have a RM150 converter which does S-Video. But the quality is not really good.

That's true. you can't wire-ly convert the connectors. But, as chai mentioned, there is such converters.. it has some electronic components that does whatever signal mixing, thingamagic, etc.. But.. quality wise, it really depends the chip/pcb/whatever...

Best solution, go buy a LCD TV
