I've read a lot about Macrovision copy protection and was wondering if anyone makes a device to decrypt the copy protection, so that one can copy a DVD to Video Tape?

I don't want to sell the copies!!! Just watch them at my vacation home. No, I do not want to take my DVD Player on my trips.

Any help, links, suggestions are appreciated.

You'll need to purchase either a Sima Color Corrector or a Sima CopyMaster. The former will remove everything including DVD ColorStripe (which can affect the recorded tape on compliant VCRs) while the latter just removes standard Macrovision (but unlike other "boxes" on the market is powerful enough for DVD and has S-Video inputs). If you can find the Color Corrector, that's the best one out there.

Here's a link to the information about SIMA's Video Copymaster which I use to copy DVD or VHS tape to VHS with good results.

How about a product called 'DVD Video Stabilizer'. This baby is made specifically for DVD's where as the Sima I believe is geared towards all different types of video sources. The web page is:

someone let me know if they have this, or have heard of it.

That would appear to be a new marketing name for the tried-and-true RX-2. However it's not as good as the SIMA - especially the COLOR CORRECTOR - when used on DVDs. Plus there's no S-Video input for anyone when a SVHS machine.

Carlos,

Just my 2 cents. It would seems that you need to spend some money to get some equipment to be able to copy from DVD to VHS (either Video Stabilizer, Color Corrector...). Why not spend that money on a really cheap DVD player instead?. You can probably find one of the older version of DVD player (without DTS, without Dolby Digital decoding...) for a very reasonable amount (used even).

And of course the video and audio quality is far superior than that of VHS.

reply from sima, as the copy master does not work with all dvds.
Dear Mike: Our CopyMaster does not take out the macrovision that is currently on a DVD. That is why you picture is not coming out clear when you are connecting you DVD into your VCR. You would need a product like our SVS-4 or SCC to take out that copy protection that is called Macrovision.

Oddly enough, the Copymaster works perfectly for me. However it will NOT remove ColorStripe protection (as the SCC will) but not all VCRs are susceptible to that.

Don't forget the simplest, and probably cheapest solution. A good quality older stereo VCR (before macrovision) will make great copies of DVD's. I have a Sony and a Toshiba that are about 6-7 years old that both make beautiful DVD copies. Check pawn shops, yard sales, and good old Ebay.

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.
