Alright I've now read through those threads. Basically nobody knows what they're talking about which is pretty normal for an internet forum. I still don't know if these people are using PAL or NTSC consoles and what type of cable they're using. They're either doing YPbPr over vga, RGB over vga on a pal console, or using a cable with a built in 15KHz passive YPbPr->RGB converter. I have no idea which and can't begin to diagnose the problem until I know for sure.
Signal cutting out can be caused by an issue with the port on the display, the cable itself, or the source device. The Wii is the most likely culprit out of the three but without more information we can't rule out the other two for sure.
You've listed two potential causes so far neither of which makes a lot of sense:
1. Switching between 480p and 480i. While this could still be the case I highly doubt it. On an hdtv the same thing would likely happen over a component connection if it were switching between the two. It takes awhile for digital displays to switch input modes regardless of which type of input you're using. The other reason I doubt it is because the youtube video you linked shows it happening randomly during ordinary gameplay. It makes no sense for the game to be switching between 480i and 480p during real time combat. While this seems to be the most touted theory in those forums you linked nobody there seems to have any reason why they believe this is the case or any evidence to back it up.
2. PAL vs. NTSC. You haven't stated why you think this could be causing the issue so there isn't much I can say here. Especially since the threads you linked don't mention it. As far as the refresh rate is concerned that shouldn't effect anything as long as they're high quality cables. Wii games don't switch refresh rates midgame either, so we can rule that out. The only other difference I can think of off the top of my head is the availability of RGB output. And that shouldn't cause this either. Why do you think this issue is only happening on PAL consoles?
Edit: The safest route would be to get a YPbPr to RGB converter: http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Componen...+converter
and a wii component cable: http://www.amazon.com/Component-AV-Cable...nent+cable
for $50.
I'm going to assume that you live in the US.
