[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1554704, member: 24160"] No it will not. That cable is only for use with older camcorders that provided an analog USB port to view it's recorded content on the TV. It is essentially a replacement cable for what came with the camcorder. Whatever manufacturers decided to make an analog USB on their camcorderss were just stupid and have caused who knows how many folks to waste money on such a cable. It will not do anything with any other devices since USB is a digital port. Getting to composite video from your Mac will depend on what Mac you have and what video ports it has.
