Best way to get video off old Mini DV cassettes? (zerobytes.monster)

I have a bunch of old home video recorded onto Mini DV cassettes with a Sony Handycam (DCR-TRV18E). I cannot find the old AV cables, but I bought this converter from Amazon, hoping to plug into the S Video port on the camera, not realising the converter is also a female port only.

What's the best option? I know you can get male-to-male S Video cables, will that be able to bridge the converter or is S Video unidirectional? Am I better off getting an RCA Cable to go from the camera directly to the 3 AV ports on the converter?

Hope that makes sense, any help is appreciated!
