I purchased the wrong part - this cable will not convert digital to analog output - I spoke to the seller and was given a printing label for free return shipping. When I shipped it back the post office said I could not get tracking on this due to the sellers shipment method. I figured since they had the info it would be fine, but the seller never refunded my money and due to their "free return shipping" label I have no confirmation. I would be careful about purchasing from this shipper as returns are not handled the same way as Amazon handles their merchandise. I contacted seller and the said that they would refund my money once the item has arrived - that was over a month ago and still no refund.

I couldn't hook up my Mac to my TV with this and that's what I was looking for. The product spec was all garbled to make much sense. So I gave it a try. I am sorry I did.

After much work, I cannot get this to work with my configuration. I have a Mac Mini with a Intel GMA950 board, the video card is DVI-I not DVI-D, however, at any resolution, I tried at least 100 different ones, each with refresh rate variations, and cannot get sync with my Samsung 1080i CRT TV. I imagine the cable is working correctly, but not for me.

This cable does NOT work, DO NOT buy it.
I checked its wiring Vs the HDMI/DVI spec (via an ohm meter).
It is wired completely incorrectly. The analog signals on the connector (pins C1, C2, & C3) do not make it to the RCA connectors.
I will try and get my money back.

I like this cable. I had purchased it to connect my Mac to my high def TV. As it turns out, this product will not work for that purpose. Had I read the description from the seller more carefully I would have known that. That was my fault.

However, I found another video use for this cable, and it's pretty good. The cable is sturdy, it provides a great signal to my device, and it was cheap.

My only problem with this cable is that I could use a little more length, but I did purchase this item knowing the length so I would not call this a problem with the cable. It's more a problem with my physical space to work with.

All in all, a great cable, and I would suggest purchasing it if you needed one.

I figured I would give it a shot to see if I could finally have a use for component, but it was a no-go. My Sapphire 5850 had no problems trying to show it as a second screen, but my TV just wouldn't show a picture. I tried changing the resolution in Catalyst Control Center, but not one of the dozen or so options made the TV show a picture. My TV's connections are YPbPr, so maybe that's the problem (even though it says in the description that it works w/that connection). Or maybe it's just time for me to get a new TV with HDMI and a long HDMI cable to my computer. Hello Christmas wish!

I bought these cables from Amazon thinking I would connect my IBM compatible computer with my LCD monitors. No go! This isn't the seller's fault. I'm grateful the seller was selling them so cheap. Maybe someday I'll find a use for these cables.

I bought this with the intention of sending one of the DVI ports from my nVidia GTX 560Ti video card to a Hauppauge PVR to record game footage. I know that DVI to component is testy and doesn't work in all cases so I bought this on a whim, but unfortunately I can confirm that it does not work with this setup. Still exploring options that will work with this video card.

This would not work with my computer to TV. I connected it to the DVR and it did work. It now rests on my work bench.

I must have bought the wrong product but this doesn't work with my MacBook. I have a mini DVI adapter and tried to connect to my television but it doesn't even register that there is another display.
