I have to say that I'm a little worried by the first statement on their
website which is ""Composite RCA to S-Video" and
"S-Video TO Composite
RCA" adapters. Our adapters have our special embedded micro-chip video
circuit that allow you to keep the color signal. Beware of pirated
imitations that hot wire the luminance and chrominance (Y/C) video
signals causing interference."

They seem to be implying that they have some form of circuit in there
which performs miracles without requiring external power which does
kinda worry me ... Such circuits are really fairly simple and don't need
hyping like this so I'm just a tad suspicious of companies that make
such "extreme" statements...
