If the original is a "store-bought" commercial release videotape, such as a feature film, there's a good chance it is encoded with a copy-protection product called MacroVision. MacroVision causes the copied tape to have scrambled video (audio is uneffected).
So, if your copy does not come out looking right, don't assume you have the cables hooked up wrong. It may just be MacroVision doing its job.
FYI, there are a number of "black boxes" out there that defeat MacroVision, and allow you to make a clean copy.
