To all:
Hey!!!!! There's no need to buy anything!!! You all want to know how to make perfect copies to a tape format?? I bet that 90% of you already have a 8mm hifi camcorder right??? Well, copy the DVD movie onto your camcorder, and play it back from the camcorder. Perfect picture all the time. 8mm camcorders do not have any type of macrovision or color stripe detection system. Of course the information is still encoded on the 8mm tape so you cannot say tape your 8mm to your VHS cassette. The VCR will detect the copyguard on the cassette.
IF you are going on vacation, chances are that you carry around your camcorder. So before you leave, make a copy of your DVD movie onto your 8mm camcorder and take it along with you.
