Of course, I meant "Component Video (YPrPb)"... :)

Also found some adapters/transcoders (eg.
http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/kd-ctca2.htm) but at US$300 (plus
shipping and customs tarrifs) that is pretty steep considering I can get a
13" LCD TV for CDN$500 ... if I can only convince my wife that this is
desirable. :) So what I'm looking for is something cheaper.
