I just bought a new RCA dual vhs to dvd machine which works fine for my own tapes from tv. My problem is when copying movie vhs (about 30 of them) which won't copy (pops up with "video is copy protected".
Any way of getting around this? Some of these tapes are 10-12 years old and i'm afraid they may get outdated and break the tapes.
Thanks in advance for any help.

The machine has to have a video output from the tape side and a video input to the DVD side and in between the two you have to have a so called 'image stabilizer' to remove Macrovision.

Similar to this:

Note that someone you know might have one of these kicking around from the nineties when backing up tapes was common.

You can see the idea of how to use Grex with DVD/VCR combos here:

I'm doing it with my Sony RDR VX520.

Definitely the next round of such products would be HD protection remover.
Are there any news about such device?
