Copy VHS from TV then to DVD

[rebekka]

A year or two back I recorded a movie from the TV onto VHS tape.

I have been trying to copy this to a DVD on my Panasonic VHS/DVD Combi
but after recording for a for a few mins it stops and says 'copy protected'.

I am puzzled as to how something copied from TV has copy protection on it
as there was no problem copying from TV in the first place?

Is there a way to get round this?

macrovision :ph34r:, its data encoded into the vhs video that dvd's notice and stops everything. you need a macrovision remover like this: Macrovision Remover

lookin at it i fink u need a second video player to make it work unless you have input AND output scart sockets.. and able to play vhs and record dvd from scart at same time

good luck :pop:

Hi Dwarfer
Thanks for that reply. As I have VHS/DVD combi I don't think that Macrovision Remover will work.

The video copied from BBC TV - I am surprised that it would still be protected (by the Macrovision ?) - have never had this problem before and I have put several films/programmes from TV onto DVD.

Perhaps somebody will have an answer - but thanks anyway. :spin:
