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.

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!.

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.

In what way is this request illegal? What law does it break?

As long as it is for personal home use, it's perfectly legal for him to do
any darn thing he wants with his DVD.

Defeating Macrovision is not illegal if you have a valid purpose, such
as archiving. Read the copyright act.

Not desireable in my book, but still legal, so why hassle him about it?

This is completely wrong. Any copying of a DVD to any form is illegal via
the DMCA. The ruling came down this week.

Wherever you're getting your news, you should find another
source.

If you're referring to 321, "the ruling" is just the latest in this
case -- it's being appealed and will eventually be overturned
(like in all previous cases where a clueless judge somewhere
along the line claimed that fair use rights don't include the
right to backup copy protected media).

Do you actually think that the retards that make such queries ever
read the group before?

It will never stop. They are retards.

>And by the way, why the hell would you make a VHS BACK UP of a DVD???!!!!.

They aren't backups. The retards actually think that the time and
expense they waste making a copy is a way out of actually buying one.
They end up costing themselves more. My time is worth too much for
such retarded pursuits.

It's far worse than that even.

Hundreds... thousands even.

Top posting retards should be denied internet access. If you are so
hep on law, you should learn to follow the protocols of the groups you
interlope in as well.

That is so untrue.

Obviously not worth too much, since you bother spending time on spewing your
rather worthless comments to this group. And see, I didn't call you names.
Just commented on the stupidity of your post.
