hiya guys, im trying to convert all my vhs tapes to dvd using my video player and my dvd recorder, it works fine on 98% of them but it reads protected on my dvd recorder, and as it happens there my 2 favourite ones lol, does anybody know how to get the protection off the vhs tape so i can convert to dvd? cheers
The best but most expensive choice is to get a full frame TBC. The recommended ones are the Datavideo TBC-1000 or the AV Tool AVT-8710. TBCs not only remove macrovision completely but also stabilize the video input making the result better then the original. One upside to these TBCs is that if you decide not to keep the TBC when you are done you can sell it on eBay for the same and sometimes more then what you paid. The best prices can usually be found at B&H Photo Video (sometimes lower then eBay especially after most sellers’ exorbitant shipping fees).
