• 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.

Anyone know what cable would do this?

It depends on what kind of inputs your TV has. Can you give us a bit of information about what brand/make/model and type of TV you're using?

I've got a new macbook, with red/yellow/white composite terminals for the tv. Hope that helps.

I believe this is what you're looking for. You will also need something like this to connect the headphone jack to your RCA stereo inputs (red and white jacks), although you can probably find something cheaper elsewhere.

I too am looking for the appropriate cable that I can connect my MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo to my Sony Bravia. Would the one you linked also be the right one?

It depends on what kind of inputs your TV has. Take a look at the manual for your TV and see what the options are for a PC connection. Most higher-end TVs like the Bravia have a DVI or a HDMI connection. The original poster was looking for a simple composite connector, which would be very low quality.

The inputs might also be labeled, which would save you some time. You want to look for either VGA, DVI or HDMI connections.
