3rd Gen Ipod Nano Video Cable

I want to view my photos and videos from my 3rd generation Ipod Nano 8GB on my TV. I checked with Apple and they say that the cable costs RM200+ which is about 25% of the price of the whole Ipod, so I surfed the net. I found some Ipod video cables for sale in the US for around $20 which is a whole lot cheaper. And then I read this blog that said that you can use a video camera cable which has the 3 RCA plugs, but only that instead of the yellow plug for video, you use the red plug.

I tried that and it didn't work. I tried all the settings for TV out and so on. And then I went on line to Apple and found that they sell a AV component cable for the 3rd Gen Nano which connects to the bigger digital interface socket on the Nano and has 6 output plugs, one USB plug to keep the Nano charged, two RCA audio plugs for stereo and 3 RCA plugs for component video.

What I'll like to know is, is the blogger correct, that you can use a video camera cable which connects to the phono jack to get video out to your TV, or what is the correct and least expensive cable I can buy to do the job, and does it connect to the phono socket or the digital socket.

I am sure there are smart guys out there who has done this or know how to do this, help me out guys, it will be much appreciated.

I've already found out the answer from ilounge.com. It seems that the Apple B#@#S have put in a DRM which makes it work only with their RM219+ cable with a built in chip.

I regret buying the Apple and the charger.
