The adapter connects to the Mini-DVI port on the new 12-inch PowerBook G4 and provides both S-video and Composite video connectors.

Not bad.. If your TV is clever...
Written by DR from London

Bought this for a simple way to connect my MacBook to a wide-screen TV, but the drivers currently available can only display in 4:3 aspect ratio.. and at 800x600 at that. Sometimes my TV is smart enough to crop and stretch the image, i.e. when watching a film, but for use as a general monitor adapter, 5 out of 10 at best. …More

Apple Mini DVI to Video Adapter
Great but one Question.
Written by DS from GODALMING
24-Oct-2007
I have a half decent TV (not HD or LCD) and I was about to buy a SCART to S-Video cable to link the DVI to my TV when I found an old (male at both ends) video cable that worked fine in transfering the image to my particular TV.
There is obviously no sound coming out of my TV but I've linked my apple into my Amp and through some speakers so that's ok.
My question is......is there a difference in the quality of image produced from the two ports or is it just a format thing?
a stupid question....does the S-Video cable transfer audio aswell as visual?.......if not where can I get an audio/visual cable for mac? I only ask because it'd be nice to incorporate my built in TV speakers aswell.

Apple Mini DVI to Video Adapter
With features under the hud.
Written by RT from Key biscayne

I have about 6 of those adapters. they are great! I do video for live shows, concerts, corporate shows and so on. I have 4 12" powerbooks (still running) and a 17" MBP.
Yes, they are a bit bulky but teh image is just fine. I never had lag with the signal, there IS a lag but probably 2 frames delay between the application and the convertion to the unit, I mean, in video there is lag every where unless you use a time base corrector in your system.
The great thing of this interface is that you can use the s-video and composit conector at same time outputing the same signal twice. Is good if you need to send... 2 signals! and you do not have a video distribuitor around or if you want to monitor your output signal and send the other one to the audience.
I never had problems with mines even I have been using then since 2003 I believe. …More15 of 17 people found this useful

I've bought one of these so I could connect my MacBook 13" to 2 TVs. Just put a phono joiner in the video out and run a cable to each TV. I have to say the quality looks 10 times better than I could of imagined. Did the job to a tee.
The karaoke software I used was kJams Pro. Makes KJing a doddle. …More14 of 17 people found this useful

I don't think it will. I think that the DVI connecter on the Air is a MICRO-DVI not Mini-DVI. The micro is smaller. I hope this helps. …More
