Ash,

I just ran a Google search on "vga to s-video" and got a slew of results.

One such result was a link back to this forum: vga 15 pin to s-video or 1 rca

Something to start with, anyway.

My Brother-in-law has the same type of setup that you are talking about except his s-video is on his laptop and the vga/rca is on the tv he got an adapter online and said it was as easy as plug n play.

Hope that helps.

I am told that you need to make sure that your laptop supports TV-out. I'm not sure exactly what he was saying so I'll find out and let you know.

Here is a link to one that I found online and it's only $4.

http://www.bizrate.com/audiovideocables_...d570834504.html

For that price, it's worth a try.

Neither s-video nor VGA support audio transmission, so a separate audio cable will be needed.
