Hi.
I have Toshiba DVD Recorder and a lot of Disney Videos. I want to transfer them to DVD but unfortunatly I can't do it as my recorder says "Copyrighted Material" What can I do against it?
Thank you.

Hi.
I have had a similar problem but with another DVD recorder. My one is Panasonic DMR-E20. But I think it does not matter. I went to the following place suggested by my friend who also uses it:

Hope it will help you.

If you have a second vcr, send it through it before sending it to the dvd recorder. Use the a/v cables, not the coaxial cable. I have successfully copied dvd from my player through my vcr to my dvd recorder. So it may be worth a shot.

Also many older VCRs don't have the copy protection recognition built-in. If you have a lot of transferring to do, see if you can't locate an older one that works at a video repair shop, etc. It should be cheap and the repair person should know whether it'll do what you want. In the old days people did a lot of VCR copying without problems.

i think if you own the original recording it is legal to make a back up.

get a box called "godvd" at circuit city or best buy for 100$, it will solve your problems. sometimes it's on sale for 65$. compusa always advertises them on sale but don't ever have them in stock, so take thier ad to the other stores and get a price match.

I got my GoDVD by Sima at tigerdirect. I think it was around $69. Have copied dozens of VHS tapes now, not a single one wouldn't copy.

i forgot, circuit city now only sells the advanced godvd which is 150$ , so try best buy or make sure compusa has one in stock before going there.

Sima products are very expensive - 129$ and more. I have also found a relatively big number of bad references to Sima especially in what is related to video quality.
I have recently ordered the DVD Red PRO from Dimax at http://www.xdimax.com/dvd/dvdredpro.html and received it very quickly. Dimax device is working flawlessly, I do mean it, without any problems and it is very cute and sexy. I'm wary happy with it.
Thanks to everybody who guided me to make the right decision.

Also you can check out ebay. I got my Sima CopyThis for around $15. But that was several months ago.

I found a scart lead that has a microchip in it at one end that cuts-out the macrovision signal before it gets to your DVD recorder. Works like a charm. Can't remember the website I'm afraid.
