***If the picture on my 20 inch that has RCA Jacks that I plug my
DVD player into looks just as good as the picture on my 25 inch that
I go through my VCR with then how is it you say its the worst
possible picture?***

You've never really seen what your player can do. The composite connection (RCA) is only one step above running it through the VCR. Given your description of the equipment, you're probably getting about 300-350 of the 500 lines or so of resolution that you could be getting (60-70%). Moreover, your color would improve and you'd have fewer picture artifacts with an s-video or component connection.

If you're satisfied though, the above is relatively meaningless.
