Does The Aluminum Macbook...

[SuperDayv]

Does the aluminum Macbook have a VGA card supporting component video (Y, Pr, Pb) signal output function?

Yes, but indirectly; you would have to go minidisplayport to VGA adapter, then VGA to YPbPr.

So if I buy the Minidisplay to VGA adapter, and couple that with this would it work? Keeping in mind I don't have an HD TV, I'd plug them into the red/yellow/white plugs. I've been getting different answers from different forums.

Yeah that should work, you'd have to spend some time guessing which one is red, yellow, and white. But essentially the signal is traveling through the cable, doesn't matter that it's not hooked up to green, red, blue. Get what i'm saying?

So yeah, I think that should work.

You can't plug Component cables into Composite connections on a TV.
It won't do anything because component is strictly video and composite is one video connection and 2 sound connections.

You need the Mini DisplayPort > VGA adapter.

Then a VGA > to S-Video/RCA

Then a single RCA Patch cable (available at radio shack) to go from the adapter to your TV because both yellow plugs on are female.

And a 3.5mm stereo plug > RCA (red/white) also at radio shack.

That will get your video and sound into your old TV that has only COMPOSITE connection.

Does the video card have TV output capability?

Yes, that's what the replies are telling you.

Yes, I understand that, but won't it still work because the red and white audio signals still have a metal wire to travel through? It's not like that cable can only carry video, so I think you could use that but that just what I think.
