In Reply to: Dubbing DVD to VHS - can do? posted by Dave G. on October 11, 2001 at 12:47:00:
Most, but not all, DVDs have a second generation of Macrovision encoded in their video. This signal causes problems with the video cicuitry in today's VCRs. Usually, when a DVD with this signal is recorded via your VCR, the picture will get bright then dark, look really fuzzy, show color variations or "all of the above". You can't hurt anything by trying, though if you use a VCR from the '80s, you may have better luck. The Macrovision encoding process takes advantage of the "advanced" circuitry of modern ('90s+) VCRs to confuse their recording capabilities. Earlier VCRs aren't as sensitive to the Macrovision signal.
