iPod TV Connection

[drumthrasher]

my dads new toshiba gigabeat s30 came with a yellow/red/white rca cable, which is the same thing my ipod uses, but i plug it in, set NTSC, tv on, play a video and the tv shows some weird stuff. the audio is okay, but its not really showing anything. its like when u set a VHS tape tracking all the way low. i can barely make out what i'm viewing.
what is wrong?

maybe just the wire if u got all the settings right, u might need an 'ipod' one...just a guess tho

Try switching the plugs around. Sometimes they're weird and messed up. i.e. switch yellow and white. Try every combination, if that doesn't work, get a better cable.

It's because when you convert your videos to put on your ipod it converts them to 320x380 and that looks like nothing on a screen that is 15 inchs or bigger.
