Here's how to make a S-Video cable:

This is the C-64 pinout (the early version of the C64 only has pins 1 to 5):

The S-Video looks like this:

So the objective is to create a patch cable that goes something like this:

    Pins
C64     S-Video
 2         1    
 2         2    
4/6        3    
 1         4    

• If you have an early C64, you must use pin 4 as your chrominance signal.
• If you have a later 8 pin A/V connector, then you can use pin 6.

I already have a C64 to 1702 monitor cable. This cable breaks the C64 A/V port into three RCA jacks: audio, chroma, and luma (sync on luma). So I will cheat. I will make a crossover cable. The aim of the crossover cable is to take the RCA luma and chroma inputs from my C64 cable and cross the conductors to the S Video mini DIN output. I will do this by cutting up a pair of old RCA cables and a S-Video cable.

The resulting crossover cable looks like this:
