Does anyone know how I can lay my hands on a Component Video Cable for a Sony HVR-Z1U, please? There's one on ebay but I prefer not to pay $130 AU (plus postage) for it.

i've DIY only with Composite Cable pretty easy use ordinary 3.5mm

Sleeve - GND
Ring - Video
Tip - Audio

pretty great result for OB but for component you have to buy that cable - -*

Thanks Chanon, for your reply. Sorry for the delayed reply, I forgot where I had lodged the request.

John,

FYI, when you post in a forum, scroll down below the buttons marked "Submit Reply" and "Preview Post." You'll find a cell titled "Additional Options." In that cell is a drop-down menu headed "Notification Type." By default it's "Do not subscribe." If you pick the option "Instant email notification" then you'll receive an EMail every time someone posts in that thread. Much easier than remembering, if you don't check the forum every day.
