I want to display tv shows from my computer onto a standard definition CRT TV. I need the red/yellow/white connections.

I searched on ebay and found vga to rca only for HD TVs. Does anyone know where I could find one for standard def?

You need a video card that supports video out. Just hooking up a cable from your computer/video card's VGA output to the composite input on your TV isn't going to work, because the computer won't know what kind of video signal to send.

If your video card doesn't do video out, find one that does. That'll solve your problem.
Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.
