I already ordered the iPod cable from Amazon but it will be a week before I get it.

I have a non-iPod video cable 3.5mm to RCA yellow, red, white but like some others in this thread the video is all jumbled up like in the old days when you tried to watch HBO but you didn't pay for it.

But the cable doesn't really fit. It is too long and wont go in all the way.

So my question, does the iPod cable fit perfectly and go in all the way?

I tried pushing and pulling the cable I have in and out in the slightest intervals to see if I could get better results but that didn't work. And I did this using the yellow, red, and white ends and on both rca video inputs on my tv. Scrambled video came through at times on the white and at times on red, never on the yellow.

I know the cable and the TV are fine because I tried it with my camcorder and it works perfectly in that scenario.

I also tried my friends Touch Pro Adapter, same exact results.
Got my cable today! So I can answer my own question. The camcorder cable I had before was different. The part that goes into the headphone jack was longer and would not go in all the way which is why it didn't work. This piece on the iPod cable is exactly the same size as a one on a regular headphone set, it just has an extra line across it for the extra pin.
