TCPMP is the best divx player I can find so far for TV Out. The divx mobile player is terrible imho so far. Try installing TCPMP to phone instead of SD Card.

I just did my own cable using the instruction on the first poster. Works perfect. Thank you for the DIY!

quick question ... is it possible to actually use a original usb connector ... and connect to rca wires that way ? im just wondering cuz i have bout 14 usb cables laying around

lmv7777 · #6 (**permalink**) 11-05-2008, 02:13 AM

it may be possible but the regular USB cable only has 5 or so pins. the adapter has more pins on top and bottom

No. A standard USB cable only carries four wires for power and data.

Yellow RCA cable is video, Red is Right Audio, White is Left Audio. Strip the cut end of the RCA cables, the shielding inside of there is that cables ground, the second wire inside should be stripped, and that is the positive.
If you had posted about a half hour earlier, I would have taken pictures of my cable before taping it up and annoted it show exactly what to do.

Yeah I just figured all this out (had to ask a friend), and I'm going to make it hopefully tonight... pretty sure I got some electrical tape... but I'll post pictures of each wire if I have to so that this thing is dummy proof (would've helped a dummy like me).
