Just to get back to you about macrovision. You've probably seen it. It makes your picture look green and red and over saturated. It messes up the vertical sync as well. Older VCRs completely ignore it but any of those made in the last decade have it. It actually is added into the analog out and recognized at the analog in. When you are copying a protected VCR TAPE or DVD with macrovision recorded into it, it does strange things to it. Wikipedia has a good article on it. GoVideo became a viable company because it sold dual deck VCRS that completely ignored Macrovision. I think they've now been forced to "comply". There are many devices being sold as "video stabilizers" that strip the macrovision out the signal and they are easily found. Some people even make their own. I'm not advocating them, but there are some legitmate and legal reasons to use them... I've not visited Woot! much, but I will! J. Pisano Collegedj86,

Today's product was a DVD/VHS recorder combo unit, and in the product description, the site authors take potshots at some of the ridiculous DRM protection schemes: (quoted from Woot.com on 5/4/07): "Anybody Got A Code For VHS Tapes? Man, copyright infringement was so much more fun back when there were only a few of us doing it. I can still remember the great Short Circuit 2 battle of ‘88, when me and the LES Video Buccaneers crew had VHS copies of that family favorite on the street in time for the Christmas season, just ahead of the Rivington Street Movie Boyz. Ah, there were giants in those days. All we had to worry about was the occasional nosy cop, and we could usually deal with that by slipping the officer a couple of movies on the house. Then digital media came along, bringing all kinds of mugs and n00bz with it. The big companies lawyered up and went nuts with one harebrained DRM scheme after another. Like Three-Six Mafia almost said, it’s hard out here for a pirate... ...Except don’t get too excited about making DVD copies of your VHS movies. Most of them will have Macrovision protection, and so you won’t be able to copy those. Looks like you didn’t really “buy” that movie, you just rented it until the videotape rots away. I’ve heard there are ways around Macrovision, but, uh, I wouldn’t know anything about that. If you do manage to make a backup copy of a VHS movie you own, you better hope there’s a DVD player in your prison cell." For one, I find these comments kind of funny. But secondly, as a potential future consumer of a product like this one, I was curious as to what you guys might know about this Macrovision and also what other types of DVD writing protection schemes are out there for units such as these. Sorry the comment was a little off-topic for the post.
