Video cables should be 75ohm always, audio cables are not designed for that, trouble is that length vs capacitance will roll of the hf information needed for video, and allow lots of noise too. They work in a pinch, but lots of problems can accure. Trouble comes from RCA connections, people just assume an audio cable will work. The FAT RCA cables with the yellow color, are generally video. Also keep them all the same length.

If I understand you correctly, you are saying the blue & red cables which are packaged with the yellow video cable sold in most brick and mortor joints are *ok* to use as component cables. But the red & blue do not do what the prepackaged set of three *component* cables offer in terms of performance?
They can be any color of course, 75 ohm is a must, component R G B lengths equal. I deduced that because audio cable is being used, Black for left, red for right, and if it is a true VCR A/V cable, then the yellow one in the middle is FAT. But, I have been known to be wrong..
