Can you mark white cable blue and yellow cable green and use it in the blue and green slots on DVD player?
The yellow cable can be used for the green wire, but cheap white/red/yellow (composite video + audio) cables will have issues working as component video cables for longer lengths, as they usually have poor shielding.
What is a scart cable for?
A scart cable is a multi-pin video and audio connector common in Europe. The cable can carry audio, composite video, S-video, RGB and component video as well as a limited amount of control data. Used for connecting video recorders to televisions, it also supports return video )i.e from the television to the recorder). The connector was only used in domestic video installations and never in a commercial environment. The connector was prone to reliability problems as the weight of the cable was sometimes able to dislodge the connector. Scart connectors are now giving way to HDMI and becoming less common on new equipment.
Can a cable other than yellow be used to connect video input to output?
Of course. They are all basically the same. The only difference being that the video cable is sometimes thicker (lower guage) and generally made of higher quality materials. They will all interchange with each other and in many cases the only difference between the three wires is the color. From Wikipedia: "nearly all audio-visual connectors, including audio, composite and component video, and S/PDIF audio can use identical 75 Ω cables" By the way, these are called "RCA jacks" or "composite video". Hope that helped.
Can you substitute video cable for audio cable?
Assuming the video cable has the right connectors, probably RCA type (phono connectors) then it can be used for audio signals. In fact, some high end audio interlinking cables use video cable because it is claimed that they work better than standard audio cable. (Note that this is the subject of fierce debate among audiophiles and there is no proof that video cable is an improvement on audio cable for audio signals) Using audio cable for video can also be done up to a point. For short connections, up to a few feet or a couple of metres, an audio cable will work just fine. As the length of the lead increases, the cable will begin to interfere with the video signal and cause loss of definition or ghost images. Substituting the cables will not cause damage to equipment, so it is safe to try it. If it looks or sounds like it works, then it works!
What are white and yellow RCA cables for?
They can be used for analog audio. White is always left audio. Yellow could be right, or could also be used for composite video.
What are composite cables used for?

What type of cables an be used to connect audio video equipment?
The type of cable used to connect audio video equipment will be dependent on whether or not one is using HD or not. If one is using HD equipment, then an HDMI cable can work. If not, then look for an S-Video cable. A local Best Buy can personally help one in their decision.
Can you play 720p on composite cable?
Composite video signals are used with standard definition video. There is no composite encoding system for HD signals. As 720p, 1080i and 1080p are all HD signals, they cannot be carried on a composite signal.
Can you use an video cable for audio?
For short signal runs, audio cable can be used for video without any issues. As the length of cable increases, it become more important to use cable that is designed for video signals. For most video signals, this will be a 75 ohm co-ax cable such as RG59. There will only be a noticeable difference in quality once the cable length exceeds 10 to 20 feet.
