Never tried it.... Just curious!

and the sound isnt 5.1 either.
Apex made/makes a DVD player where though a "secret menu" you could turn of the macrovision. Computer based DVD-ROM drives also have "hacks" that defeat macrovision. Otherwise the only other way you could tape a macrovision encoded DVD is to play it through one of those external macrovision filtering boxes... found in the back of Sound-Vision.
You can copy from DVD to A Digital Video camera via s-vide, then from camera to vcr. A pain but it works.
Many, but not all, DVDs are encoded with a new version of Macrovision. This messes up the video when you try to record on today's VCRs (ie., some picture distortions, color and luminance problems). However, many older VCRs have less advanced circuitry in their video sections and Macrovision (either version) doesn't affect them. On those VCRs that do record them or for discs not containing Macrovision, you will run into another problem -- the sound. The analog outputs on the DVD player give you a rather less than average downconverted Dolby Digital signal. Some may not care, but others may not care for it. Anyway, try some discs and see what happens!
Macrovision copy protection will mess up the video.
Yes. No problem. If your VCR does not have S-video (most don't), just connect from DVD compositive out (or processor composite out) into line in. My Sony VCR has two inputs, so I do not need to switch interconnects. Just need to change the VCR to "Line In".
