Component video cables are optical and can vary significantly in build quality so do not only look for the lowest price. Because there are many manufacturers, do your due diligence with this product and look for online reviews before any hasty purchases. Also make sure that this isn't your only option for transmitting video; newer, higher quality cables like HDMI are available and unless restricted by your set, you would do better to pass on component.

Can you mark white cable yellow cable green and use on DVD?

A red-white-yellow (RWY) cable is designed for stereo audio and composite video. A red-green-blue cable is designed for component video on your DVD player. Most RWY cables will have the yellow cable noticeably thicker than the red and white. This is because there is extra shielding in the video cable to avoid interference. While short runs of RWY cable can be used for component video, the picture can suffer if there is electrical interference in the Red and White cables because of reduced shielding.
