I'm about to purchase a new VCR and I'd like to use one of its RCA inputs with my DVD. I know that this will rcase a problem with the Macrovision protection encoded in most DVDs. I heard that some models of VCRs offer a DVD pass through feature that de-activates the copy protection when the VCR is not recording, thereby allowing the VCR to do video switch while protecting copy rights. Does anyone know which brands/models offer this feature.
I also heard a rumor that some brands of VCRs don't respond to the macrovision protection at all. Any idea?
Don't make me have ta by a time-base correcter.
Thanks
