Page 1 of DVDR Question???

Hi
Im new here
..and have not got a clue how to copy dvd`s that come up with the inevitable `MACROVISION COPYRIGHT PROTECTED`
I have copied some old dvd`s,but these new ones dont wana have it.
Ive Scrolled the internet and all ive found is overpriced gadgets or scartleads that promise to cure this problem.
Can someone enlighten me on this matter please..........?

What method of copying are you using: PC, DVD recorder....?
This may help to provide a better answer to the question, and as Stantz said, be a bit more selective which forum you post in, the scatter gun approach can get some peoples backs up.

Im Using Dvd - Dvd Recorder

Most DVDs are copy protected using Macrovision.
To copy these you will either need to copy them from a macro free player or connect the two machines via a Macro disabling device such as the Sonel MacroMaster scart lead.

Ok nice 1
Is that the Only way you can do it then?

Yes - either with a MacroVision-disabled DVD player (some of the few that are not already macro-disabled can be hacked to be) or external disabling device.
Another way is to use a computer with Macro removal software.

Ok Nice One `Nice1` much appreciated..I will check out them scart leads..they`ve run out at the mo at £19.99.But yeah.
Do you have a link for `hacks` as I guess I could try this first also.
Thanks!
