I have the aluminum all in one Intel MacBook (about 1 year old). I would like to be able to connect my MacBook to my TV if possible, to watch movies and such.

When i first got my MacBook there really wasnt an all in one converter from the mini Video out to RCA/S-video. just wondering if theres something now or some other way to do so.

No all-in-one connection exists yet. You should have a mini-display port on your machine; find out what sort of inputs your TV has and go to the Apple Store to see what adapter you'll need. If your TV only has composite in (a yellow RCA jack), you will need something more than just an adapter, since Apple only has adapters from mini display port to VGA or DVI.

Your TV might have a VGA port as well which will work with the appropriate Apple adapter.
