The only problems I have with consumer grade RCA cables are the connectors
which seem to be made with very thin, cheap metal that will work their way loose and cause an intermittent connection. I did have one triple RCA cable that lost the video ground/shield wire connection on one end that caused moire in the picture.
I've never had a problem with any S-video cables including some I've had for many years.
