Red, Blue and Green rca cables are a component video cable. Each cable carries the information that comprises the red, blue and green color information for the picture. The green cable also carries the sync or refresh information for the picture. This cable can carry video with resolutions from 420i (standard analog TV) to 1080i (currently the highest definition broadcast in North America on digital TV).

Can you mark white cable yellow cable green and use on DVD?

A red-white-yellow (RWY) cable is designed for stereo audio and composite video. A red-green-blue cable is designed for component video on your DVD player. Most RWY cables will have the yellow cable noticeably thicker than the red and white. This is because there is extra shielding in the video cable to avoid interference. While short runs of RWY cable can be used for component video, the picture can suffer if there is electrical interference in the Red and White cables because of reduced shielding.
