Pull it from Green (it's embedded in the green signal).

You'd need a sync separator to pull sync from green. The yellow wire is video sync for light guns and whatnot. Here's what Hacking the Xbox (pg. 260) has to say about it:

QUOTE

The "video sync" signal is a 3.3V CMOS or TTL-compatible signal. It is a basic 15.734kHz positive polarity pulse train syncronized to the horizontal line time of the composite video output, with s single longer pulse at the beginning of every video field. This signal enables peripherals that are pointed at the TV screen, such as a light pen or a light gun for shooting games, to derive position information.

Whether that helps you or not, I don't know.
