Page 1 of SV-DVD1E ho do i copy-copyrighted dvds?

Hi,

Ive just bought a sv-dvd1e dual player ive made it multi-region but now im trying to tape some region 1 dvds but unfortunately they wont copy!!
Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Hi,

I`m afraid it`s impossible to copy Region 1 (US) DVDs to tape in Europe. Reason: The TV system ist different (US: NTSC, 525 lines, 60 Hz, Europe: PAL 625 lines, 50 Hz). It is only possible to copy to tape if

- the player converts the signal to REAL PAL (very rare) or if

- the VCR is able to record NTSC (then the DVD player has to be switched to NTSC output instead of "Pseudo-PAL").

Most players produce a "Pseudo PAL" (PAL, 525 lines, 60 Hz), which can be viewed on most TVs.

Thanks for the reply!! could i call on your knowledge again please?
how would i find out if the VCR is able to record NTSC?

Thanks very much.........
