This makes a total of 6 wires in all plus 3 layers of webbed wires.
A fine nest of stuff. Guess I will try and find which carry the digital video signal

Hi Allan,
Yes, no argument there, I was thinking though of a single conductor braided shield cable, which is all you can connect to a standard RCA plug. The ground pin on a standard USB plug, A or B, is no. 4, so that is the braid connection, and all you then need is to find which other one has the data signal. It could be either 2 or 3, pin 1 being voltage usually.
See
http://pinouts.ru/SerialPortsCables/...e_pinout.shtml
but this is for full-blown data transmission. I agree though that wiring up a mini USB plug would not be all that easy.
Cheers
