Composite (red, yellow, white) connections and S-Video connections can only provide SD resolotion. Connections capable of providing HD resolutions are Component (red,green,blue) and HDMI.

I don't know of an external capture device for an Apple laptop that can do what you want. The Blackmagic Intensity or Intensity Pro are the only devices I have seen for OS X that can record in HD via HDMI, but they are internal capture cards.
