Don't know if anyone needs one or if this is any good but this:

is being closed out of the stores...not available online. I "think" it's like $4-$5

s-video is analog.
I'm confused as to what that's supposed to do.

it converts your money into profit for radioshack.

From the manual:
"Analog/Baseband to Digital/S-Video Converter
(150-1242) Features Faxback Doc. # 63793

Your RadioShack Analog/Baseband to Digital/S-Video Converter converts
analog audio signal from the audio equipment to digital Toslink or PCM
(Pulse Code Modulation) signal. It also converts a standard baseband
signal from your VCR to an S-Video signal for hookup to the S-Video jack
on your TV or A/V receiver, or vise versa.

Its features include:

Phono Jacks - lets you connect audio cable with phone plugs to convert
analog signal to digital signal or PCM signal.

Toslink Jack - lets you connect Toslink digital optical cable to
provide interference-free and distortion-free signal
transmission.

S-VHS Jack - transmits the best picture for your video.

SYNC REC OFF/ON - turns on to transmit signal to MD (Mini Disc) recorder
for synchro-recording; turn off to stop.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.

Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your converter.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RadioShack may cause
interference and void the user's authority to operate the equipment."

Never been a fan of Radioshack myself, but I figured I would post in case anyone would be in need of such an item.

I doubt anything like this would be needed. It seemingly converts VCR signals into something for more limited receiver units, likely the cheapo ones that come with integrated DVD players and the sort.
