You can output to analog via Firewire through a camcorder even if it doesn't
do pass-thru recording. I use this to monitor video from iMovie/FCP on a
stardard NTSC monitor (am using an early Sony TRV-315 which doesn't have
pass-thru). You just have to set the preference in whatever app your using
to output video through Firewire.
