Nope, that's not mini-displayport. This is what you want.

Or this

The latter carries audio via USB. The mini-displayports in the Macbook Pros don't.

Something was screwed, I edited the link, it reads monoprice, but was still pointed to some other website...

My TV can handle others, the idea is for when we are traveling RCA will be the least common denominator.

Most of the VGA to RCA convertor boxes have bad quality ratings...I am trying to find a good one / solution.

you need electronics to go from digital to analogue output, that is why that apple cable is probably your best bet.
