unfortunately, no...
the cable you have in the picture dose component and not composite.
you'll need a scan converter to go from VGA to composite/svideo, and this will mean (depending on your budget and your quality needs) from a few euros to several hundred or even thousand.

here is a link I found (many more can be found if you google or ebay)

cool, if you feel like it do let us know how it worked for your once you receive it.
will be nice to know things like, picture quality, build quality, etc.

update. i got a "pc to tv" box by kworld. it works fine for what im doing. a little bit of noise if i project a still with a lot of white on it, but as soon as you put up a loop you cant see it{the noise}
im delighted with it. 60 euros.

to be honest, i like the softer focus of the old stuff. ie ct100/cat 5 over digital. everything in my venue is bright new and brilliant, having the projectors working at lower res seems to have a bit of old time-y /kitch feel to it.

i wonder could we be facing the same argument that the d.j.s have regarding records v mp3....

again ,i must state that i just provide eye candy for drinkers whos own focus might not be the best during club time. for hi end work my system clearly would not be the way forward.

someone may argue composite is better than VGA but is anyone going to pay them any notice? ;-)
