Unfortunately, you can't do that with a simple cable. There's actually
some circuitry that is needed to make that conversion. I needed to do that
once... that's how I know. Converters are available, but you'll find that
they're more expensive than you were probably hoping for in a mere cable!
Here's one:

A similar unit will convert in the opposite direction (VGA -> Composite).
Hope that helps,
