hi i want to have a video input cable which will take the yellow cable from the yellow red and white wires and display it on a monitor.

i found ones like tis on ebay but they say that they are for tv out. my question is this can these cables be used the other way around. so the yellow wire is the input and the vga is the output.

the cables seen are vga male to yellow wire female.

will this work?

thanks for the help

I dont think a cable by itself will suffice. I beliwve you need a converter like this one

found it a lot cheaper on ebay uk

Yeah that would do the trick ..... here is an English supplier, for the same unit, which gives a bit more info on its use ............. not sure the ebay one is a good idea from Hong Kong ?? , but that's your choice of course.

thanks for your help

your never going to believe this but the seller on ebay uk that i am thinking of buying from has exactly the same name as the shop you gave me.

strange coincidence :)

Hmmmmmm. ................. after reading the 15 negative feedbacks for this seller, me thinks this outfit might be best avoided altogether

[zagreus 360]

yer at first i thought they looked like a good seller with 98% feedback but after reading the negative ones i am a bit conserned luckily i always read the feedback before placing a bid so i'm safe. Thanks for the info, ebays loofing a bit doubtful i'll prob have to get it from that dtore you showed me

thanks again :)

Personally I would say .... stick to the first link I gave you :

it's a well known outfit and, although a bit more expensive ..... at least you will get the goods
