I am trying to transfer the VHS movies to DVD so I can put them away and make more room, but they all say they are copyrighted. Is there any way to get around this?? I HATE having those big clunky old movies in my entertainment center!!

Thanks in advance!!

Keep checking around in these forums for more info (do a search on top of the screen), but you will find a canopus hardware product that will bypass the protection in commercial VHS. It apparantly does it automatically.

are you using a video camera to do this or do u have a Dvd recorder? My dad is doing this now, Putting all the home videos (VHS) to DVD and couldnt get it to work so he just bought a DVD Recorder and now it works perfectly. for 150$ its worth it.

Hi. I have a VCR/DVD recorder combo. what I'm trying to do is, my son has a kids video that is falling apart and I'm afraid it's going to become non working. They don't sell them anymore and they are next to impossible to find anywhere else. I HAVE to get this video on DVD!!!

If you want to backup a copy protected VHS tape to DVD then a VCR/DVD combo unit is useless. You need to play the tape in a standalone VCR and output the video to device which can bypass Macrovision.

I know that there are some DVD recorders that are able to get around Macrovision. I don't use a DVD recorder myself so, unfortunately, I can't give you any specific recommendations. You might do a little Googling to find a DVD recorder that would be up to the task.

I do all my analog to digital conversions on my PC and it's not too hard to bypass Macrovision there. My first choice would be a Hauppauge PVR-150 PCI card, good quality and low price, maybe $60-$70. Second choice would be a Canopus ADVC-100, great quality, but more expensive, maybe $250 on ebay. Lastly, try a video stabilizer, maybe $30-$40 on ebay, effectiveness is hit or miss depending upon the model you get.
