VGA to SVideo Adapter

[theubergeek]

Here's the scenario: My computer (laptop actually) only has a VGA port for an additional monitor, no SVideo or composite. This can be aggravating, as I want to play DVD's on a TV via my laptop.

I found this, but I'm not sure if it will work: http://www.pccables.com/cgi-bin/orders6.cgi?action=Showitem&partno=70717&rsite=70717

If not, where can I find what I need, and about how much would I have to spend?

Thanks

I have seen those before and that place is really reputable from what I hear. I mean I would call or email them and see what they say. But I mean its a VGA to Svideo adapter so it must work just fine. The main thing though is going to be the resolution. TV's cant handle the same res as your laptop.

The vendor indicates that most customers will need to buy a scan converter found here

I don't think the adapter cable will work unless your VGA port provides an NTSC compatible output signal.
