Macrovision is "The DVD`s Anti Copy System). It stops you from copying your DVD`s to Video cassettes, much the same as the tape to tape version adopted in the late 80`s.
However the player has a chip and some software that detects a copy protected disc (the protection is on the disc). the system is reverse engineerable by "Chipping" the player. This can be done by a reputable company or by yourself if you feel capable. Some players are simple others very specialised, pioneer in particular are not for the faint hearted !.
