Page 1 of Macrovision removers

Not really a region hack, so I thought I`d post this here.
Transferring some older (home taped!) videos onto dvd-r with the Panasonic DMR-E20 results in the message "Copying of this material is not allowed".
Bit rough, when it`s a home taped video that`s a few years old.
I believe you can buy little units that the leads plug into to strip away the macrovision signal.
Has anyone any experience of these (in the UK)

It won`t be Macrovision causing the problem, I think, it`s more likely to be Copy Generation Management System, a whole different ball game...

"Copy Generation Management System"

I thought that was to prevent digital to digital copying only?

I still think it is macrovision otherwise how would it know to not let you copy a tape from a VCR?
Try another tape, maybe some program or camcorder footage and see it it copies to DVD-Ram disc as a test?

If so then a macrovision remover may help. Just search theses forums as it has been asked a few times before

Hi, i own the equipment you are trying to get hold of.

Its called a Macro Master Video Stabiliser, it costs £30 at least that`s what i paid and you will be able to find more information at www.sonel.com

Good luck.

Hi

One possible think is if your using a digital camcorder and have a soundcard with the digital signal in / out you may have an option about copying that needs turning off [ you may have an option on the camcorder to copy protect thats getting passed on]
