You may not be able to do this if your monitor cannot handle the vertical (or I might 
mean horizontal) scan rates of a composite signal. A TV picture is a 60hz INTERLACED 
picture and most monitors can only do this at about 87hz. Read the FAQ on video that is 
posted here regularily because this gives much more info about this.
