The Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter was designed specifically for use with the latest 12" PowerBook G4 (models introduced in September 2003). The adapter connects to the Mini-DVI port on the new 12" PowerBook G4 and provides both S-video and Composite video connectors. It allows many devices such as TVs, VCRs, or overhead projectors with S-Video or RCA (Composite) connectors to be connected to your new 12" PowerBook G4.

Not so adaptive..., August 28, 2008

PRPThis adapter doesn't quite work so well-- it changes the display on the computer when you plug it in, and only has a slot for video (not audio) on the TV side...

Ian S. BrooksTHis is exactly what every MacBook owner needs. This product is especially useful because one can connect it to both televisions with RCA and S-Video jacks.

This adapter is $19 at the Apple Store (add tax and shipping depending on how you buy it). From the online Apple Store:
" The Apple Mini-DVI to Video adapter is designed for use with the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4. The adapter connects to the Mini-DVI port on these computers and provides both S-video and Composite video connectors so that you can view your computer on devices such as TVs, VCRs, or overhead projectors with S-Video or RCA (Composite) connectors. Video cables sold separately. "
Also note that you need an audio cable if you want sound out. For most TVs you would need a 3.5 mm stereo (headphone) plug for the Mac to two RCA plugs for the TV.
For an even better picture a lot of newer TVs can use an HDMI video input, which is digital. For this you would need Apple's Mini-DVI to DVI adapter, plus a DVI to HDMI cable. DVI to HDMI would essentially turn your TV into a computer monitor. You'd still need a separate audio cable. (HDMI cables can carry audio, but DVI cables don't.) Apple's Mini-DVI to DVI adapter is also $19.
