When is this adapter going to come out?
I really want to out my laptop to my Television.

I bought the Mini Display Port to VGA adapter and a cheap $3 VGA to RCA on ebay in hopes that would be an easy fix to what I am trying to do.

Turns out those cheap connectors are only compatible with ATI graphics cards, and my mapbook is an nVidia card.

Apple makes Mini DVI to RCA cables, but im guessing they haven't got to Mini Display Port to RCA.

Is there something out there yet? Or even a combination of cables that will allow me to go out of my Macbook with Mini Display port to connect to devices with S video or RCA ins?

thank ya!

Apple does not make them anymore and I don't think they ever will.

However, it is possible to connect your MacBook to your TV using S-Video or Composite. You will need a Mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter and a PC-TV box like this one:
