Thats why you can't record a DVD (with Macrovision enabled) to your Tivo, then copy it to tape to defeat Macrovision - of course if you were to extract the Video Stream from the Tivo then you could possibly defeat Macrovision that way.


Or go to http://www.videoguys.com/sima.htm and get the Sima SCC or copymaster, put it inline with your line in to VCR, and like magic, all copy protection is stripped. Works like a champ. Has the added bonus of allowing you to run your DVD through your VCR so your VCR remote can control the input. All without losing any signal quality whatsoever. In fact, I find it looks better.
