A family friend has a Super8 mini VHS camcorder that has S-video out and composite audio. They want the tapes transferred to DVD. I have a DVD recorder but there is no composite in on it. Is there a S-video to composite adapter out there I can buy for cheap? Would "The Source" have such an item?

I'm not quite clear on the problem. The camcorder has S-video output, but you need composite (RCA yellow) for the DVD recorder input, or vice-versa? Either way, there are adapters for this, for example

Probably a lot cheaper online vs in store.

I am not quite clear on the problem as well.

The camcorder has S-Video and and Composite Audio but no info on what connections the DVD has.

What connections does the DVD recorder have?

The camcorder has S-video out and composite audio out.

The DVD recorder only seems to have composite connections for input.

So you need a S-Video to Composite Video adapter.

The link provided above has those.

The Source Has one but it is sold out in Whitby ...

The problem with some of these is they use a passive resistor array to mix the luminance & Chroma signals back and sometimes the quality is not there. But hey, for under $10 it's worth a try
