For a JVC camera I need a s-video to mini USB connection to copy home DVD to a DV tape. Where can I get this?

Like mentioned above, I want to take home video DVDs and transfer them to mini DV tapes. For that to happen I need a 4 pin to 4 pin firewire cable, which I have, A/V cables, which I have, and a s-video connection. However, my camera does not have a s-video port.
