I would think any number of things could have gone wrong with the recording.
Not knowing where the original came from or it's condition, my thoughts
would be:
The source could have been bad to start with.
The video feed was weak or did not have a solid connection, possibly a bad
rca plug (if that's how you made the copy, by going tape deck to tape
deck.).
The recording head was out of alignment.
The recording head was dirty or just plain worn.
Your tape deck did not like the brand of tape.
