This has degenerated into a ****ing match over legal implications.
Back to the original intent...

I'm looking for a Macrovision hack for my Coby DVD-215.
I don't have any more video inputs on my stereo receiver, but I do have
two perfectly good selectable video input ports on my VCR.
You'd think you could play a dvd passed thru the VCR. But no!!!
Whatever macrovision is messing up is in the passthru path too.

Need to get this patched up so I can play legal rented original not
copied perfectly legal not bootlegged, original rented DVDs!!!!!

Did I mention that no illegal recording is or will ever be involved.
And don't give me any crap about DMCA. Gimme the hack.
merci,
mike


I own a couple of cheap Apex players which I disabled the macrovision with a downloaded
file burned to cdr then played in the dvd player.

I had a good and logical reason for doing this.

I have a video distribution system in my house so that I can go from My office to my den,
or my bedroom and simply turn on the tv to watch the movie without stopping, un-loading,
and re-starting the movie.

The video distribution reacts badly to MacroVision, so I made it go away.

There are several (or many) reason to disable MacroVision that have NOTHING to do with
copying the movie.
