There is a lot of tools to bind VGA (desktop pc CRT traditional video
14pins ) to RCA line-in video of the TV or VCR.
Some people mention a simple wire media is not enought. The interface
need a processing dispositive.
What do you know?
Which tool recomend to me?

I bought a ATI All-In-Wonder Videocard (9800 Pro) 3 Years ago and i am still
extremely happy with it. It is sufficient enough for a Gamer and has all the
toys you need (Hardware and Software) and don't need including a TV-Tuner
and A/V and S-Video in and out ,Coax in , it records tv from the tuner or
from my cablebox that i connected.
i backed up my old VHS tapes onto DVD's and so on...
The best part:since it's not a brandnew card anymore you can get it for
cheap now!
Look at it:

i forgot.you can project everything you see on the PC onto the TV(websurf
and watch movies).
you can use either 1 screen or both as monitor when you switch it from the
properties menu.

Too vague.
Connections to TV's vary.
You list RCA line-in? Do You know your VGA out has a
line level vid signal output? If not then don't risk it, even
so, You will have serious sync issues.
If your graphics card and TV have S-Video, use that.
If you wish to connect VGA to RGB inputs, either via
SCART or component inputs - I suspect you are out of
your depth. This can only be successfully achieved with
specific graphics cards. And you risk damage to TV.
Component video signals (Y/Pb/Pr) cannot be converted
independently.
These links detail how to DIY wire a VGA-to-RGB scart cable.
Do it wrong and damage will result.

This is one type of commercially available VGA-component(RGB, Y/Pb/Pr):

These will only work with compatible graphics cards and TV's that
have component inputs.

But your specific request for conversion to Line level vid sig output
is not viable.

Thanks all.
I forgot mention what I want is only watch on TV set some large movies
on pc -too difficult to make on dvd/vcd for several complex codecs -
The Belden 1522A cable adapter and the ATI All-In-Wonder Videocard looks
great. I'll read more about this tools.
Thanks.
