DVD players output a defective NTSC signal in the form of macrovision. Modern TV sets are built to ignore the defect while modern VCRs will either record at a constantly changing brightness level or refuse to record at all. AZ Nomad |

Rental dvds are the same as the ones you buy in a store, they both have the
same copyright protection. "jazu" <nospam> wrote in message news:... > Is that true that rental DVD have some safety feature to prevent copying? > nb |
