I think you have missed my point at least twice now. I want a jack that I can get Video and Stereo out from. I also want to be able to plug headphones into this jack with no problems, without using an adapter. The only trace I would need to cut would be Sense, and I would rewire that to the front of the jack, using the method I described earlier. I would then add the video to that trace, and wire my video adapter cable accordingly. That way, I would be able to use headphones and A/V out without any problems.
I never intended my idea to not work with headphones (PS the iPod will do video and it doesn't upset the use of the headphones the way they do it).
I think you are a bit confused, one of the two conductors (the original ground, now split), is ground, the other is video.
Wire video to the correct one, then wire ground to the correct one.
When you plug in a normal headphones the ground is as big as both conductors, so the headphones will be grounded.

Hmm...
Here's a perfect candidate for wiring up, also available from mouser.com:

Please take a look at the wiring diagram on the very PDF you show here, you will see yellow (video) is connected directly to the one just next to the ground.
Just wire your socket so that L/R and ground work properly, then put the video in the video terminal.
Then not only will regular camcorder (and portable media player) A/V cables work, but headphones will work too.
To re-iterate, cut the last two traces if need be, then proper A/V and headphones will work.
Wire the proper one to ground and the proper one to Video. (why do it wrong when you can just do it right the first time?)
