Is there an easy way to come out of a VGA jack from a computer and derive composite video using parts we probably have lying around the shop? Thanks, Lenny Stein, Barlen Electronics.

I got a dandy little box for fifty bux does just that. Powered (but only powered, nothing more) by USB. There are no drivers and it basically can also serve as an extension for your monitor cable. It's like a pass thru.
Also has an SVHS output, which I suggest you use to see anything. I started reading all the scan modes it can convert to 480i-NTSC and got tired and just ordered it. Once in a while I crank up my screen resolution to do a screen capture, and I haven't had any problems in any mode. In fact sometimes, like during bootup, the TV will display before the monitor.
Bought it from Global Computer, one warning about them, don't buy anything with a rebate, unless you can burn the rebate or an email address. They use onrebates.com and they will never ever stop spamming you. If you see something you like, get a quick hotmail account or something to take care of business. They almost wrecked my email name, and I happen to like this one.
