    Hi,

    Is fitting a TV out card to a Dell Inspiron 1300 (which doesn't have one) difficult? Or indeed possible?

    I have a standalone DIVX DVD player, but it switching file formats to burn it onto a CD has become a pain in the arse.

    Thanks.

    That just about sums it up.

    The only real option is a VGA to TV adapter, which gives poor results. There are a few threads on this topic, have a browse through the last month or so.

    Shouldn't it be possible to have a USB solution to this? Might be hard to find because most laptops have an S-Video out at this point.

    I'm pretty sure I bought one for my brother for Xmas a while ago.

    You can do this:

    I doubt USB would have the bandwidth to support it.

    Any ideas on this, folks? Would the picture quality be crap?

    It's NTSC - does your TV support NTSC?

    European standard is PAL.
