Normally in video applications once you start pushing over 30meters you normally deploy an equaliser to fix cable losses/slope. That said for most domestic applications you should not have a problem, but are starting to push things.

SD video bandwidth is normally rated around 5-6MHz.

I have about 80 meters of composite, but its using cctv (solid copper) rg6 cable, not 59... but the pic seems sweet as at the end of it.
