MacBook Pro + Boot Camp + Resolume 2.4 + S-video = ?

Hi all!

My situation, first. I'm VJing in Resolume 2.4.1 until the FreezeFrame plugins work in 3. But I'm tired of borrowing laptops for every remote gig.

What I'd really like to do is get a MacBook Pro, and whenever it's time for Resolume, I'd boot into Windows XP via Boot Camp, hook up the DVI-to-s-video adapter from my laptop to a projector, and rock out.

But I've seen a number of posts warning that the DVI-to-s-video adapter won't work in Boot Camp!

All the posts seemed to be pre-Leopard, but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, right?

So I submit the question to y'all in forum-land: Has anyone had success running s-video out from Resolume when in Boot Camp on a MacBook Pro? Does the DVI-to-s-video adapter do the trick, or do I need something like the Grandtec VGA to S-video Converter?

Much thanks in advance for your help!

It's all written about before. See this thread. S-vdeo will not work as far as I know, correct me if I'm wrong. Composit will.

Much thanks! This is amazing---they're saying it works with just the regular DVI to s-video cable, no scan converter needed? That's... amazing.
