Huge (read: complicated) entertainment set-up.

PacoSees:
So I've been looking around for a cable that can connect a lap-top to any RCA jack (The read, yellow, and white one.).  My current set-up is:

TV:
Input 1: 5-Disc CD/DVD player (surround sound)
Input 2: VCR (Video only)
ANTV: Cable from VCR

VCR:
AV Out: Video(Yellow) to Input 2 on TV; Audio to 5-Disc Aux(In).
AV In: RCA Splitter (switches between PS2 and Wii)
Cable Out: To TV
Cable In: From DirecTV

So, Input 1 on the TV is for DVDs, Input 2 is for Tapes and Video Games, and Channel 3 is for TV!

All I need is some way to connect my laptop to the RCA Splitter and I'll never have to leave the living room.

Any suggestions?

No, but I have a question:

You still own a VCR? Seriously?

Dimmukane:
It depends.

If all you have is an S-Video out, then you're out of luck.  There are no S-Video to RCA Composite cables, only S-Video to component or S-Video to S-Video.

If you have a Video out (just the yellow one), then you can get a video cable for the yellow jack and then a Y-Audio splitter to go from the Line Out port to the Red and White jacks of the RCA splitter.

The Y-Audio splitter is what I use for my computer, actually.

PacoSees:
@ Obsessions: Too cheap for TiVo and I know how to use the timer on the VCR!

A little bit of random googling and I found it.

Now all I need is a convertible sofa and I won't even need to sleep in a different room.

Dimmukane:
Well, damn.

I mean, I figured they existed somewhere, but I thought it would only be in expensive boutique shop form.

How well that works with your video card and its drivers remains to be seen.
