Will this converter work backwards?

[trOver]

I want to hook my dvd player up to my monitor via vga.

So, it would go composite vga (the yellow one) to vga into the monitor

Will this converter work?

If you want to plug into a standard CRT tv, that will work if you display adaptor has support for something like 640 x 480 interlaced resolution.. The image quality will suck, though. If you are wanting to plug into an LCD tv, get one that splits the colors from the VGA into 3 seperate RCA connectors for Red Green and Blue, asuming the tv has no VGA or DVI input.

I don't think so. You'd need some sort of VGA box I believe. They are common for game systems like the PS2 or Xbox. New ones like the 360 can output VGA already through the multi-interface A/V connection it has, so you just need a cable. They are pretty expensive too, at least the X2VGA was when I looked at it. Maybe what you need can be a simpler device though.

Unless I'm wrong and a simple cable would work, I wouldn't spend that kind of money on it. I'd just play the DVD directly from my computer if I wanted it on my computer monitor.

It won't work at all.

Yep, I've found RGB cables into thew VGA side, butnot forComposite. I think That cable the OP links to has an Svideo cable alongside.
