VGA to composite?

[LeAnn B]

We have a flat screen tv at the back of our sanctuary that was run via VGA cable to the video switch. I need to be able to temporarily connect that tv to a DVD player but I don't want to have to run different cable. Does an adapter or converter exist that would go from VGA to composite for the DVD player? This will only be used temporarily for VBS. Any ideas?

I'd hook up a laptop with a DVD drive... no adapters necessary.

Ditto. That would be the least expensive solution using hardware you might already have.

I have never done this but I think two of THESE VGA to RGB adapters with the appropriate genders of the 15 pin connectors (or ADAPTERS ) should work. Just use the same color RCA on both ends.

Good idea! I didn't think of that

Humm, I think I have one of those but I don't know where I got it and wasn't sure what it was for LOL May try that also. The laptop idea would work but there is very little space in our video/sound booth so adding a laptop (even temporarily) might be difficult. So I'll try this connector first. Thanks!
