Posted on Tuesday, Febru09:19 GMTI have an RF modulator and it does not help one little bit as far as recording any copy protected VHS or DVD. My understanding is the the real no-no is decrypting movies on DVDs and putting them on one or more CDs. If anyone wants to research this I suggest they review the 'fair use' sections of the U.S. I believe that the Copyright laws allow a private party who has purchased a copy protected DVD to override the copy protection technology to make one backup copy of his or her DVD. If any of you videophiles out there can give me a recommendation on protection override devices and matching recorders that will answer my needs, it would be much appreciated. The thing that confuses me is the litany of formats that various recorders create (+R, +RW, -R,-RW and so on). I would like to locate a reasonably priced DVD recorder to create disks that can be played on my GoVideo or other standard players.

It appears that there are a number of devices (DVDRed,VideoMagic,the Clarifier by FacetVideo, and others) that claim to be able to override copy protection technology. All I want to do is create copies that can be played on this or other standard players. I already have a GoVideo DVD player with 'S Video' output. As I understand it, this requires three components. Posted on Sunday, Aug23:35 GMTI want to make backup copies of commercial DVDs that I have purchased for my film library. The Samsung is manufactured by Panasonic with the Samsung name and is less expensive then a Panasonic unit. You can record both DVD-RAMs and DVD-Rs from DVD and VCR players, as well as, TV and Cable programs. The unit does not run on batteries but with AC adapter.

Also includes a red indicator light to let you know when a transmission signal is received from either the VHS or DVD player. However, I found that the preset setting are excellent. Controls on front of unit includes seperate controls for color, tint, brightness and contrast. Input and output is choice of either S-video or composite video. Go to to order but expect to wait up to as long as 4 weeks to receive the unit. The copies look as good as the originals with no artifacts. Posted on Sunday, Febru15:21 GMTI purchased a Video Magic/DVD and am using it with a Samsung DVD-R4000 Recorder and am extemely happy with the results when copying protected DVDs and VHS tapes.
