Even the best cables can't do anything if the signal's shit. $500 tires
may give you better grip on the road but can't make a Porsche of a cheap
'80s Toyota.

Macrovision jams a VCR's electronics which results in the picture going
from bright to dark to bright to dark...
A large horizontal bar running slowly up-down (or down-up) is some
interference with the power grid. If a power line and a video signal are
not fully shielded against each other, you get a mix of the two, which
is what you see on your screen.
I assume this is your second video cable so it's unlikely that the
cables are the problem, nevertheless you should clean up the
power/video/audio cable mess behind your DVD/LCD setup. Try to separate
them as far from each other as possible (just to see what happens).
Remove any cable not needed for the test, i.e. anything except the two
power cables for DVD and LCD and the video cable.
If that doesn't help:
- Connect your DVD to some other TV/monitor (with the new cables).
- Connect another DVD to your LCD (with the new cables).
If the horizontal bar's gone in the first case, return your LCD. If the
bar's gone in the second, return your DVD. If it's gone in both cases,
tray again by sorting the cables, using different power outlets or
simply rotating one of the power plugs.
I'd say that either the DVD or the LCD is either broken or cheap China shit.
Apart from that, if possible don't use composite video, use Y/C
(sometimes called SVHS, too; usually four-pinned, round DIN connectors)
or, even better, RGB.
Oh, and learn to quote. If your setup is as fucked up as your writing
style, no surprise it doesn't work.
