Such an adapter is called a 'scan converter'.  It reads in the video 
signal, and reprocesses in real time to composite or Svideo.  As it 
never touches your system, it cannot possibly require Windows.  These 
devices are all complex, expensive, and result in poor quality video.  
You actually don't have a video output on your laptop?
