Going to scrounge through my boxes of cables
The male to male S-Video cable is <£3 including postage on the Bezos empire, I wouldn't even bother to dig the mystery cable box out from under all the other shit 🙂

Too late. "Found two cables that look like video cables... but with connectors I've never seen before - one is Nvidia video card adapter thing which looks like S-Video but isn't and the other one looks very much like the small iLink connector... but also isn't. Idiots and their stupid connector 'standards'."
Bezos gets some more of my money...
hippy
Now I have everybody's favourite scenario... two females. Two female S-Video connectors - one on the Hauppage thing and one on the handycam.
It has DV in/out in the form of an iLink (Sony's name for Firewire I now know) plug with an iLink to Firewire cable (I think) which appears to be of no use to me because neither the USB-Live2 thing nor my PC have Firewire connectors.
Going to scrounge through my boxes of cables to see if I can find something that will work...
