G'day filevans.

I tried that circuit you linked to (it's a great website! :) ) initially and had no luck with my Nvidia cards.

The circuit I ended up with is this one (http://www.nexusuk.org/projects/vga2scart/circuit). Works with both Nvidia and ATI cards just fine.

Attached are some other diagrams I came across on the WWW that helped me build this version...

Good luck! :)
