Yes, that's Macrovison copy protection. It's supposed to prevent
you from making a clear copy to VHS from DVD.

Heck, VHS inherently makes it impossible to make a clear copy...



LOL true enough.

People who are copying DVDs are using software to make perfect digital
copies. The MPAA is a decade behind the times as are most things of that
nature.

If your TV lacks a composite input, you can get RF converters that will not
exhibit this problem. If you need more inputs on the TV, switchboxes are
available.
