Macrovision hack?
I have a Toshiba SD-V290 DVD/VCR Combo. Does anyone have a Macrovision
hack for this player? I would like to make VHS back-up's of existing and future purchases. ANY help would be much appreciated. Thank-you in advance. |
Macrovision hack?
When will people learn that requests for illegal info will be ignored?. How
many times will we have to put up with requests for cell phone jammers, cable tv descramblers, radar jammers etc?. And by the way, why the hell would you make a VHS BACK UP of a DVD???!!!!. What a good idea!...just in case your super high resolution, multiple track, fully digital, noise and dropout free DVD suddenly fails, you'll have a crappy, noisy, dropout ridden VHS copy to enjoy. That's gotta be one of the stupidest ideas that have been posted here in a long time, and there have been quite a few!. Kim "A Better Chungking_Cash" wrote in message om...

You need a black box usually called an "image stabiliser". My local
electronics store sell them for about $50cad, check the net for mail order sources. It goes between the DVD and VCR. Since your unit is an all-in-one, you might have to copy to a standalone VCR.

Not really a stupid request. And there should be a way to remove it with a software solution. It's only illegal if you suck up to the notion that anyone has the right to sell you inferior quality video.(macrovision degrades the signal to the point where the tracking and burst signals are marginal resulting in a poorer image.) LAST time I checked it wasn't against the law to strip the macrovison encoding to restore image quality to the video signal if you're doing it for personal use. Only illegal for commercial purposes. also have you forgotten about s-vhs? while it's not as good as the original dvd it would still be perfectly fine for viewing on standard tv sets. And like the man said if you scratch it you're fcked. |

BTW, I make VHS copies of my kids movies, give them the tape, and put the DVD away. After buying two DVD "The Lion King" movies, I learned my lesson. And the quality on a 25" TV in the kids room is fine. I'd rather replace a $2.00 tape, than buy another $20.00 replacement DVD. Deke |

Stan, You ask why copy to VHS, I'll answer in one word- "children." When my kids were younger I used to make backup tapes of DVD's as they could operate the tape deck but would surely trash a DVD. The little rugrats have grown a bit, so now I copy the DVD's directly to blank media and let them use an older player. This actually serves a second purpose of trying to teach them not to trash discs and gear. It works out pretty well, and if the copy of "Finding Nemo" gets a little hashed, no problem, there must be two or three backup discs safely locked up in the media room ggg. All the best, Mike |

Well seeing as the DMCA makes universal remote controls, garage door openers and pretty much anything that allows equipment to be used for anything it wasn't intended for (like remote control software for Palm Pilots) illegal, this could get difficult. Next they will be making "copy-proof" holographic DVD's that *cannot* be played in any manufactured player if the hologram is missing. From what I understand, the next upgrade to the DVD standard will also take out the facility to play DVD-R and DVD-RW, only original burned disks. -A |

But if you could copy it, then for sure it was not copy protected ;-) Thats one of the more interesting and logical 'philosophies' that I have heard. :-) Reminds me of one of the 'not-all-that-uncommon' CATV scrambling systems. While it is generally a reasonably effective system, a good 5-10% of sets handle it like it wasn't even there. The manufacturer knows and admits that and its just one of those caveats with this particular scheme. So, if a person has a brand XYZ receiver that just so happens to not be affected by the scrambling is he culpable of any legal ramifications for defeating or stealing (or whatever legalese) the encrypted programming that he is not 'authorized' to receive?

One does not see the non-complaint players he refers to on our shelves. The web doesn't count. The Cyberhome players can be hacked, hell, even some of the newer Toshibas can be, with very simple remote keypresses. That makes them illicit to market here, if it can be accessed by the consumer. The fact that they ARE marketed here doesn't make them any less sub-conformal to the standard. Are any of those marketers based here? I doubt it. I have a Daewoo dvd player that is region free. I've played dvd's from 2 other zones and they played just fine. I notice you stated illicit not illegal. There is a legal distinction. I bought mine over the net from a dealer in NY but have since seenthe same player selling in local stores. As for the governement outlawing what I do with whatever I buy for my own personal use. They forget that They serve the people not the other way around. We have this thing called the constitution and no laws may be made that will abridge or change it. Especially in regards to the laws protecting unalienable rights. Those include freedom of expression, speech and privacy. What I do with my own property(that includes any recorded media I purchase.) in the privacy of my own home for my own use. By the owner of the intellectual/artisitic property(this being THE material on the commercial dvd.) putting said property in the retail sales market they come under he comes under guide lines and rules as set forth by fair trade laws. i.e. they relenquish private view rights to whomever purchases the material for their own personal viewing. They have no rights to mandate how you view it. The clearest example of this would be the LP's of past that all would purchase and make cassette copies of for their own use. ASCAP and the RIAA could'nt get the Supreme court to ban home recording and the film and video industry won't have any better luck getting the cititzenry to comply now. No matter how many politicians they bribe or unlawfull regulations they try to impose. If I choose to make a copy of any DVD I purchase to vhs or whatever for my own personal viewing it's no one's business but mine. If I choose to purchase a descrambler to remove any signal that degrades image quality that's my business as well. I'm buying the images not the anti-theft crap they trash it with. The government can't under constututional law mandate what we will or won't purchase or own inregards to restrictive players. |
