If you happen to have a 5G video iPod, you may have wanted to hook it up to your TV but figured you weren’t ready to give Apple another $19 for the special cable. Well, you don’t have to. The cable that comes with a camcorder is probably all you need (once you know the secret). 
The secret is that Apple switches the inputs on their cable so you can’t just take any old AV cable and hook red->red; yellow->yellow and so on and expect it to work. Instead, you have to connect the Red jack to the TV’s Yellow RCA input, the Yellow jack to the TV’s white RCA input, and the White jack to the red RCA input.
To me, this proves that you don’t have to install rootkits to protect your product in today’s marketplace. Anyway, if you’re interested in viewing your iPod’s video on the big screen, you can get all the details on how it’s done from this post on MacDevCenter.
