I don't know if this product would help you(VGA output). It's powered from a usb, but I bought the $12 adapter in case the draw from the usb might cause problems.....it didn't, but the adapter is pretty unique, and I think I'll have other uses for it.
ps......it says it doesn't support pal.....does that mean I shouldn't recommend it to my friends?.....
