[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1068547, member: 24160"] You're correct in that it won't work. There is no video analog out on the new MBP at all. Even the mdp to VGA that Apple is selling and calling an adapter is really a converter. The DVI-I ports that were on the older MBPs could carry both analog and digital. The mdp to DVI adapter, the DVI is actually a DVI-D which is digital only. So yes, you would need a converter to get it back to analog. Personally, I have always found using composite for a computer signal to be very bad and S-Video only slightly better. It's probably been around 10 years since I last tried, but I never even got movies to look as good as a DVD player through S-Video. And text or web pages - terrible. Seems a lot of folks still use these connections. Could be that my expectations are too high. You can check out post # 6 in the following thread to see what you'll need to accomplish it.
