Hi!Any of you have been dealing with DVD's Macrovision? Ways to bypass it, models that allow that more easier than others, etc.?
It would be great to have some feedback on several experiences concerning Macrovision and ways to avoid it. Particularly on brands and models.

Of course copy quality will depend on source quality, but sometimes you can improve on special areas and improve how it looks like. Such as color shift or sharpness, brightness and contrast.Pity there's not much that can be done on noise, because that would even improve on some cable channels.

What can you use to by pass macrovision on VHS tapes?
The Sima SCC should do it - If placed between vcr1 & vcr2.
Do you know if the Sima SCC will eliminate closed caption information?Will the Sima help improving VHS to S-VHS copies? I have been copying my regular VHS tapes to S-VHS, and it would be great if I could improve on them at the same time.

...and I would think your copy is only going to be as good as the source. Going to SVHS from VHS *may* look better, only because you can adjust sharpness/brightness/contrast/red/blues/green,etc...
Again, I have only used it for DVD --> SVHS with very good results.
Sima SCC is the way to go. I use it to "backup" dvd's to svhs tapes, and it works great.
Give these 'video clarifiers' a try. The Sima SCC SuperVHS unit is outstanding and is the only one removing the annoying red stripes, layer 2 macrovision. Good luck._Spike
