I recently purchased a DVD recorder and I had no trouble at all setting it up to record VHS tapes to DVD-- but I can only record the ones that are not protected. Is there any "secret" way (lol) to burn protected tapes to DVD? I heard a myth that you can cover something up on the tape so it's not protected. Anyone?

And I know it's illegal-- and I'm guessing no one who answers this uses Limewire to illegal download songs either? Because I don't-- people work hard on music albums...and actually, DVDs are not cheap when you're in school AND working to support yourself-- especially after you've already bought all the VHSes.

You need to get a macrovision decoder. It hooks up between the VCR and DVD recorder and removes the macrovision encoding that prevents you from copying the tape.

You're going to need another device to either play back the VHS tape or record the DVD and you'll need a device to filter the copy protection from the VHS tape.

I actually learned how to do this in school, since I majored in Video production.......Just _________________, oh yeah its illegal, and hopefully no one will tell you. The people who make these productions work long, hard hours, and don't want their work illegally copied by people... May I suggest buying the DVD
