You can buy a PC to TV kit at Esquire for under R500. That takes your VGA plug and converts it to RGB and RCA...

I bought a few cables to do this with my PC, but it doesn't work with my laptop.

Wow, that is a lot.
I could rather get an external hdd that connects to a TV for that...Or a DVD player with USB-in.

That is quite a commute for a cable...

Cool, maybe they will have what I am looking for at a decent price...
And it wont work.
PAL video syncs at something like 15.625kHz if I remember correctly, 99% of VGA RBG ouputs sync at 31.5kHZ & upwards.

So more than a cable is needed?

YES. You need electronics to do downscaling of the signal from 31.5kHz to 15.625kHz, a simple cable is not going to do this for you I'm afraid.

So it seems that another solution would be preferable then. Like an external HDD to plug into TV or USB dvd drive...
*sigh

That my friend is for you to decide
Haha, indeed. Just thought there might be a simple and cheap solution. Oh well. Thanks for the info

Well the guys in IC and Audiovision gave me false hope. The dude at IC even seemed really clued up - which is rare there
