My understanding is that the little svideo->rca adapters that come with
video cards are NOT really svid to rci.  They just extract another pin
out of the video card side (similar to DVI->VGA adapters just pulling
the analog pins into a VGA connector).

You actually need a converter box to go to RCA.

I could be mistaken, but, all the adapters I've seen aren't really
converting.  Svid is fairly different from RCA.

Not that this solves your basic problem of getting a signal to the
svideo output in the first place.
