It is called a digital video stabilizer because it uses an array of
digital logic chips to locate the Macrovision pulses and clamp them to
zero level.

This is the one I have and it works fine.
That ancient peice of crap has been sold on the market for over 20 years!

No it has not. Yes the same company has been making a similar model
for 20 years. In fact I still have one of those-the RXII. As a matter
of fact there has been at least 3 upgrades since the RXII. Do you
really think a company can't keep up with something as low tech
Macrovision and not upgrade such a simple device over time?
I have used the present model to convert over 80 of my tapes to DVD
and have had one tape I couldn't handle and to this day I'm sure if it
is a question of copy protection or not.

Perhaps you never want to use a battery but I have no problem with
that. The present battery I have in it is over 3 years old and is
doing fine plus I don't have the hassle of a power supply. If you do
want a wall wart it will accept one.

macrovision and very poorly at that.

This from the Macrovison website:
B) PRODUCT / TECHNICAL
B1. What forms of video copy protection does Macrovision provide?
Macrovision currently provides three video copy protection
technologies. Each of these has a separate purpose.
Type 1:
ACP (Analog Copy Protection) – ACP is intended to prevent unauthorized
copying of protected copyright content via an analog input (CVBS, Y/C,
Component) to a recording device such as a VCR, DVD Recorder, or Hard
Drive recorder.
Type 2:
RipGuard DVD™ – This is a digital anti-ripping encryption that
protects against software designed to decrypt and copy DVD’s on
computers.
Type 3:
Hawkeye™ Peer-to-Peer Anti-Piracy Service – Hawkeye inhibits file
sharing of copy protected content over certain computer networks.
^top^
OF COURSE IT ONLY HAS TYPE 1 because that is all you need for the
simple transfer from VHS to DVD. Why make his problem more complicated
than it really is?
Go ahead and spend three time as much if that makes you feel better. |

I suggest you read the tech information. It is an A/D, strip, D/A process.
This is why there are complaints, at times, that the device is changing the
video. |

Dear All,
I thank you for your most helpfull and informative comments and inputs from
which I have learned a lot. It seems at this stage the Sima CT2-GoDVD should
resolve my backup issue which I have already purchased and which should be
arriving shortly.
Thank you all once again
Mark Zak

| Quote: | I would like to backup two teaching copy protected NTSC VHS tapes to DVD.
The tapes are frequently used at various locations in class rooms often in
old equipment and I am concerned it is only a matter of time before damage.
I trust this is not illegal. I have Panasonic NV-FJ630 Series VCR and
Panasonic DMR-EH60 DVD Recorder.
Your advise would be appreciated
Mark Zak
