My email is danielreginald@hotmail.comI hope you can help me. Thank You.
Yours Sincerely

Thanks to stuff like this, Hollywood's paranoia continues, and direct digital hookups remain a dream.Just buy the disk.
They shouldnt charge 15-20 bucks for a piece of plastic if they dont want to get pirated. If cds were 5 bucks each id buy alot more but why buy them for full price when there just ripping us off anyway?
you should be allowed to make copies for your own personal use.
Despite what you "should" be allowed to do (is that one of the "If I were King" rules?), it's against the law. The 261 people the RIA sued yesterday thought they "should be allowed" to share files.It pirating, it's illegal, and you know it.
Just buy the dumb disk, or rent it - - the price of a day's rental is probably no more than the cost of a blank DVD.
Pirating is one of the big reasons I, and millions of others, can't have direct digital hookups. It pisses me off.
oh come on, give it a rest. the concern was always commercial piracy and mass duplocation for profit. NOT making your own tapes of what you buy -- and it has been on occassion explictely expressed that way by the industry in countless forums, including the software's packaging. hello ...however it is true that the internet and sharing of music files (largely an adolescent enterprise IMO) has caused the industry's power elite to blame their slumping record sales on this downloading phenomenon. certainly their shameless markup and obessessive quest for absolute control of distribution channels, contrasted with a chronic, altogether curious lack of artistic license, expression and support, as well as a similar lack of sensitivity to consumer interest (and what is plainly reasonable marketplace forces), are the more likely culprits for their intolerable slipping stock, my friend. little reason to invoke RICO laws against common citizens caught in their vissitudes and corporate barbary-piratism.
i really tire of the self-righteous ranting that some quarters are given to in support of what is plainly madison avenue avarice and bodacious disregard for consumers. label it chronic lack of wisdom and self respect when dealing with their buying public. and it's always sureptiticious and at armslength - slinking from rock to rock. and it seems to me your concern with digital management rights stems from the same recording industry moguls in their infinite wisdom rendering a myopic turning-of-the-screw to adopt Digital in it's jitter & EMI ridden splendor. wholesale, in a near day-one-switch, as it were. an annoying adoption of a flawed redbook standard, without so much as a pause or nod to the consumers they supposedly cater to, who at the time were invested in (an almost exclusively superior) analog reproduction chain. we were shuttled along at high speed, forced to buy both new hardware and software. only some twenty years of sadistic torture with wretched cd mastering and duplication has resulted in even a lukewarm industry interest in experimenting with providing us with a higher fidelity that we clearly deserve. meanwhile, redbook cds are priced with obscene stickers even in cutout bins, while paranoid and subversive copy protection schemes on all things digital often render optical discs obnoxious, inferior to their analog cousins and often unplayable with either mass market or high end gear. really since the early days of popular music we've had recorders (from day one - did you get that?) but now in the fall season of our discontent, the best they can muster as an official response to their massive record of folly is to criminalize an accepted public practice, once the lifeblood of popular culture? please.
ignore the little man behind the curtain.
Who needs, or wants, to make a tape of a DVD they own? The quality cannot be as good, because it's a tape. The convience is nill, compared to the DVD. And why would you want to burn a DVD of a DVD you own? Are you going to watch the same movie at the same time and need two disks?What bull. People want the ability to copy DVD's so they don't have to buy them. You're ignoring the truth so as to rationalize a justification your little vice. I have no sympathy for this.
I mean, come on.
I make copies of my kids' DVDs so they may watch them in a TV-VCR combo unit in the car during long trips or when we're on vacation. Fair use I think. Does that meet with your approval?
Doesn't matter if I approve. Nor does it matter if it meets with your approval. What matters is whether it is legal, and it's probably not.Does that little FBI warning at the start of the disk mean anything to you? There are lots of laws I don't like - - but I still have to obey them. And guess what, you do too (as those people who are getting nailed for illegal downloads of MP3's are also finding out).
You go ahead and continue making illegal copies, when you should instead be writing your Congressman to have the laws changed. End of thread. I can only wonder what other laws you are breaking because you don't agree with them.
Ok, finally here a process that can be used to make [legal] copies of a DVD to a video tape or DVD recorder. I know this works because I use this process myself.Purchase a digital video mixer known as the MX-1 by Videonics. Put your input into the mixer and connect your recorder to the output. In most cases (depending on your recorder) this will defeat the macrovision copyright protection. If this doesn't work, simply initiate a manual input transition from an input that has no signal to your copyright protected input to about 95% complete but don't transition all the way 100% to the copyrighted input and that will certainly defeat the signal. You'll have to play with this to get a stable full screen picture and defeat the signal at the same time. Try different transition effects (use solids/no dissolves).
You can get a Videonics mixer off eBay for around $80.
Good luck and remember only to do this if making a copy of your own purchased movie to watch on your combo VCR when traveling with kids. ;-)
as if it makes a difference.there are plenty of reasons, none of which will offend less - if - you choose to ignore a behemoth bent over backwards to spite the hand that feeds it, in my mind. all of the varous reasons are valid whether they be to remove parts not suitable for intended audience in ones home or time shift for elderly relatives who have little access to technology except for the vcr you, the jetsetter kids bought them years ago. but let's not go off trying to legitamize the entertainment value of it at all. you just need to settle in your mind that if you bought it, as long as you're not mass marketing material out of a suitcase or garage, setting up a cottage industry or laundering it for civilization destabilization, then noone should be using software as a weapon against your modest, best interest. bootleg tapes in the marketplace is criminal should be dealt with harshly. but we're talking about your average narcissitic household in pursuit of audio/video nirvana. piracy, what a red herring. i mean really, are we not men?
up on your feet.
See this post. The unit can be had for about $100.
Hi Mel, I've used the Sima Copymaster ($50 at Best Buy) for a few years now to make copies both ways (DVD to SVHS, SVHS to DVD) and encountered no problems. Copies look as good as originals to my fairly critical eyes.
But what about Level II Copyguard? Have you not run into a problem yet?
Macrovision copyprotection is what's causing the problem. One fix is to get a Macrovision-disabled player.Here's a link to just one of the many companies that sells DVD players that will allow you to make VHS tape copies:
