Bwahahhaa, I cant beleive you landed in my neighborhood today.

1. Reason you cant copy DVD -VCR tape is because a software called: Macro Vision Protection. (Street Term VCR friendly)

If you can hack into the DVD player you own, you may be able to copy them.

Do a research online using keywords: VCR Friendly DVD Player, Macrovision off DVD Player, Code free DVD Player.

You be suprised at your results. They usually run about 149-299.00 per player.

But having a Macro off player is very VERY Against the copy rights LAW!!!

I think it is illegal to attempt to sell those in retail shops in the US, but not to own or use privately. If you are selling or renting videos using it, you are breaking the law. When you buy a blank audio cassette or videocassette, every major record company or movie studio, depending on whether it is an audio or video tape, gets a cut, meaning you are paying them for the right to copy things for your own personal use. It is not illegal to copy a CD or video you already own, because the blank media price includes royalty payments to cover that use. Just don't sell or rent copies, and you are not breaking the law or stealing from anybody. I wouldn't let anyone tell you different. I worked in the recording industry for a few years on the manufacturing end, and the royalty business on blank media was a major complaint my employers had with the industry.

I think CD-ROMs also include a royalty payment, but I am not certain.

This only applies within the US AFAIK, and don't take this as legal advice

 

What is the point of purchasing DVD movies if you can copy them?
Hence, why you can not copy DVDs' these are the stumbling blocks on why it takes forever to get an agreeable format between the movies studios and manufacturers for High Definition DVD and TV programing.
I can not wait for High Definition DVD (Blue Laser) out in Japan first as usual.

Ahem... to copy a DVD to VHS, follow these easy steps:

1) Make sure you have a DVD player and a VCR (preferably 4 head)
2) Connect audio RCA cables between the two devices
3) Take the Video out from the DVD, plug that into the "IN" jack on a Digital Video Stabilizer. Take another RCA cable from the "OUT" jack into your VCR
4) Get tape cued and DVD cued
5) Start recording on the VCR, wait 3 seconds (to allow the tape to get past the icky stuff at the start of the tape), then start the DVD movie

All the extra equipment you need is a Video Stabilizer and you're rocking

 

I used my PS2 to copy a DVD to VHS. Works just fine! (I copied Trigun)
