I have a problem using the video outs of my new Pioneer DVD to my VCR and then to my TV through the cable tv in. TV does not have a video input. The screen is not stable with the DVD but works fine with my old Laser Disc player. Does DVD have a different type of video than laser disc? This works fine with my smaller Trinitron, but picture goes from dark to light when using an older TV without video inputs. Is there a way to DIY a video input to an older TV?
Follow Ups:
The problem you have is running the DVD through your VCR. DVD's have a copyright protection that is going to distort the picture if you go through a recorder. You may find a disc now and then that will pass ok but not often. If your TV has no composite video in you can get an RF modulator(around $35). That will work but you don't get the full advantage of dvd's sexy picture quality. I would invest in a TV that has atleast S-video and you will be muchos impressed.
Thanks Chris,Yes that's the problem. That explains a lot of things. This is no problem on the Pioneer Laser Disc player. I can copy movies from it with no problem, although I don't have much reason to.
Now if I could just add a standard video in to the TV. I am going to get a new TV soon, and will be looking for an S video input. Is the "S" input that much better than the standard Video inputs?

Absolutely on the "S" video, and component video is even better than that. The "S" video bypasses the comb filter in the TV so sometimes, according to features, you can get just as good a picture out of a less expensive TV. But when shopping for a TV don't base your buying decision on that alone. Try to get both "S" and component on your TV due to format advances and technology so you won't get something that will be outdated, and the more inputs the better unless you are switching them with an A/V reciever. Happy Viewing!!
yep, component or BNC outlets with better cables give a much better picture.
When taking your video source from the DVD and inputing to a VCR.
Remember one thing that Copyright protection i.e. Macrovision is present. Buy a Cheap $25 video stabilizer and route the video thru
it before the VCR connection. Works every time.
