macMini to S Video or component video

[mlucas17]

Bought and received a mac mini with the intention of using my 65" Hitachi HDTV as the monitor and bluetooth keyboard and mouse from my lounge chair. Unfortunately my TV doesn't have a digital video input. So I'm looking for suggestions on what to get to convert from either digital video or VGA (connector provided with the minimac) to either S video or RGB component input.

Thanks in advance. BTW, the mac-mini is really sweet...

I think ATI makes a DVI to Component adapter, check it out on their website

Ping! Google to the rescue (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=vga+to+s-vhs+adapter). Any one of those looks good enough.

Maybe somebody will test out the Apple DVI to Video Adapter one of these days on the Mini.

Some people claim the Apple one will work, while some say they tried the ATI version on their PowerBooks and it didn't work. :confused:

Maybe somebody will test out the Apple DVI to Video Adapter one of these days on the Mini.I imagine it has to work, since Apple specifically advertises that adapter ($19.95) as a Mini accessory. The weird thing is when you click on the link for the adapter is says it's specifically for G5 only, but I think they just forgot to update that page.
