When trying to copy a "home made DVD" (not a store bought or pirated copy) the copied DVD is black & white. The TV is showing Color, but output is apparently black & white.
Have you had this before?
Fix 1: If your TV has a shared component video (3 RCA) and composite video (1 RCA) input, the DVD player will get black and white picture if you connect the DVD with composite to the input when the TV is set for the component. You need to set the TV to composite in the TV menu.
Fix 2: Disconnect all cables from the TV > then reconnect the colored cables to the same color-coded jacks on the TV. If the DVD player still has no color, replace the cables if necessary.
Fix 3: For S-Video cables, unplug the S-video cables on both ends and check if there are any bent or missing pins, which will cause DVD player black and white with no color errors.
Fix 4: For DVD disc damaged or broken, use Leawo DVD Copy to make a new copy of it. This software will retain all original elements on your DVD, including colors and 3D effect.
What type of machine is doing the copying?

It was an RCA DRC 8335 VHS/DVD player recorder. We solved the problem by using a "stand alone" DVD player and not the TV DVD player. It copied fine then.
The TV DVD player would show the DVD fine, in color, but something is wrong in the output circuit, causing it to put out black & white. Reading posts on here, it seems the RCA 20F510TD TV has a lot of problems.
Samsung TV + DVD started to play black and white pucture.
TV is still with colors and the TV's menu is also with color, but when passing to dvd (no metter which disk) it is black and white.
Tried to change from usual cable to S-video - same thing and problem - black and white : (
