Hope that is your blouse size btw :D

Have a wee swatch at http://www.videohelp.com . Search under Player for your DVD recorder and you may find a link to a site where you can download a firmware/macrovision hack that will allow you to backup your VCR`s

Searching for a way to disable Macrovision on the DVD recorder won`t help though - it is the Video Player that is sending out the copy-protection signal.
Disabling Macrovision on his DVDR will only allow copying of DVDs onto video tape or another DVD recorder.
What is needed is a connection that will defeat copy protection such as the Sonel scart lead - connected from the VCR to the DVD recorder.
