Video Splitter
I've been looking for the past hour for a 1F to 2M Composite video splitter.
I saw this, but im not sure if this is what I'm after.

Here

Thanks if someone helps and finds what I'm looking for.

If you want to drive two TV monitors from a single composite video source, the splitter cable in your link should work. Depending on your video source, cable lenghts and monitor input circuitry, the video quality may degrade a bit. The displays may be a bit darker and a bit blurred as compared to driving a single video monitor.

Also if it matters, composite video is video only; no sound.

I have an Pinnable Bungee Recorder that accepts composite and S-Video inputs and transcodes it for output into the computer through USB. Well since I'm playing a console and timing is needed, I need a way to view it on the TV screen and record so I came up with this diagram. I won't have audio on the TV, but I can live with it unless there is a solution to that also. My TV has only one output and it is "Digital Audio Out (Optical)."

You should be able to use the same general type of RCA splitters for the left (white) and right (red) audio outputs of the AV Multi Out cable that comes with the Wii. You could use two more of the exact same splitters as for the video or you may be able to find slightly less expensive audio grade splitters.

I bought 3 of the splitter, 2 for audio and 1 for video. Of course quality won't be the best, but it's going to be put on YouTube, not some fancy project or for work

Also bought a 1/8" to 1/8" audio jack for connection from my pc to tv for useing my computer audio on the TV. Got a good deal for it all for $13
