Hi, I don't suppose your video card also has a componet video out does it?
Some video cards (like mine and some of the ati cards) come with a dongle that allows you to use either composite of s video.
have a look at these: http://shop.ati.com/product.asp?sku=2538007 or this http://shop.ati.com/product.asp?sku=2702995
it depends on which card you have.

here's another option: http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...entPage=search
just an svideo to composite adapter, and it's cheap!

Most graphics cards will have a component/s-video output in the same plug as said. If so, use that. If it doesn't, I recomend getting a VGA to Component video adapter instead.
