Best component video to VGA (RGBHV) converter?

Hello ladies'n'gents!

Hope I am posting this in the right place...I got a projector that can do side-by-side split screen with 2 sources...which will mainly be used to watch sports/play video games at the same time. However, my projector apparently does not support 2 HDMI sources at once, and 1 component is already used, so that leaves my VGA input if I want to do 2 HD sources at once. Unfortunately, I can't tell my projector (Epson) that the component source I'm feeding it through an adapter is YPrPb rather than RGB...so I'm off to get a signal converter.

Has anyone used a component-to-VGA converter? If so, what should I look for? Are there any you recommend?

Thanks so much for your time!

Definitely the Crescendo RTC2000 or 2200 transcoders available at Curt Palme.

I have used others, like Key Digital, Audio Authority, Burosch and Kramer. The Kramer is much more expensive than the Crescendo, the AA is somtimes cheap on cheap but suffers from low bandwith (slightly blurry output with HD). KD is about the same price as the Crescendo, but I prefer the Crescendo. Burosch is nice as well, but you won't find it in the US.

Ditto. I had one with my CRT and it worked flawlessly.

This is probably not the "best" but I'd imagine it works fine (the brand is at least somewhat reputable): http://www.audioauthority.com/product_details/9A65 - it can be found for pretty cheap sometimes

The AA trancoder is really fine for 480p, but as stated above, the picture gets kinda soft with HD sources due to limited bandwith.

Sorry, didn't notice you mentioned that in your other post. I have a bad habit of only reading half of a post sometimes... Thanks for the info.
