• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Hi,

I read the sticky article, which was extremely helpful, but I am still unsure as to how to solve my video linking problem.

I have a Mac Pro with two DVI ports on the back, one being used by the monitor, and one spare.

I want to be able to watch films and view photos from my computer on my television screen. The TV has a scart connection at the back and a white and yellow audio/video connection on the front.

What would be the best way of connecting the mac and the TV?

I want to send video as well as audio so that the whole thing can be heard and seen from the TV.

Thanks a lot for your help,

Jamie

The way I do it from my macbook is to use the little Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter ($20) connected to a video cable to the yellow plug; and an audio cable from my earphone jack to the red and white plug. At home I actually go through my Kenwood AV receiver, but it works into TV inputs, too.
