I paid more than I wanted to (which was $0), but it's a great quality cable, it's only as long as I needed it to be (6 inches), and to be fair it's a reasonable price. Blackmagic Design links to two other sources, but judging by those pictures, neither of those sites were offering the cable you actually need!
I got the Intensity Pro when it was much more expensive (they dropped the price considerably only 5 months after I got it, those jerks)... but at least now I feel better about paying the "premium" for the analog connections. Back then, Blackmagic used to offer a lower-end Intensity (no "Pro") which was just HDMI - no analog connections. It's probably true that no one bought an Intensity Pro just for s-video; I only really wanted the analog connections for recording in HD 720p through component to get around that pesky HDCP. Now I can actually use the s-video input as well, and thanks to the Intensity Pro's video-out, I can also play lag-free on a second monitor (ASUS VH236H, naturally) as opposed to playing while trying to adjust to the lag of a video capture display.
Kudos to svideo.com for their low prices, speedy service, and great customer service. They accepted my Vanilla Visa gift card without any problems. Check them out for all sorts of video converters and adapters. If you can think of it, they probably have it.
