You have to choose the DVD player wisely. Not all can have the copy

Not with my Hitachi it doesn't. The macrovision (Copy protection) is
still there, and you can't record, but playback is fine.

That's strange, as the copy protection works on the VHS circuitry, rather
than just in record. I've tried it with several makes, and they all do it.
