Looking for an adapter, does it exist?

I'm going to be buying a PSone screen soon, and I hope to do as little modification to it as possible, because I've had bad luck with soldering irons and circuit boards. (Boy, did I pick the wrong hobby) But I need an easy way to connect RCA cables (Or, better yet, S-video) to a PSone screen without opening up the case... I know there's a 1/8th inch mini video jack on the back, but are there video mini jack to female RCA jack adapters? I'm imagining something that looks like this, but with 3 RCA jacks and 4 sections in the mini jack.

I have an S-Video to 1/8" mini cord, dual-RCA to 1/8" mini cord, and a 3-RCA to 1/16"mini cord. Each mini plug only has three segments. I've never seen a mini cord with more than three sections. I could hook you up with an S-Vid and a dual RCA cord, though.

The jack you can use with the PSOne screen is the same as used for videocameras

These RCA connections are male, I have never seen them female on this cable (since they are used to connect a device directly to a TV), but you can buy female>female cables.
I think the three sections are composite video, left audio and right audio.. so you won't get a Svideo signal this way..

I really wanted to make the wires as short as possible, but I guess I could just get that cable (might even have one lying around somewhere) cut the wires shorter, and attach female jacks to it.

Or you can buy an RCA video coupler for like $3. They work, as thats what I use.

That will work, but I'd like as little amount of wire as possible.

(I'm mounting the screen on my video camera. It's a great camera, but the screen is tiny!)

Why not just do what we say, and cut the cord smaller? Thats what I did. It is possible to take 2 peices of wire, and blob a peice of solder between them to carry the current.
