I have one of these devices, too. For me, it works just fine copying DVDs to VHS tapes. I use a Pioneer Elite DV-05 as the source DVD player, and a JVC SVHS VCR as the destination.
Follow Ups:
I'd say that either your JVC was made before early 1991 (the year the law was passed mandating the AGC circuit in all VCRs sold in the US and the reason Macrovision works), your DV-05 has been hacked to defeat/disable Macrovision or you have something else in the video dubbing line. I've talked to Maximo (Zorilla, the designer of the Video Filter), and he says the box will not work for copying to VHS. I tested this on three VCRs -- 3 different manufacturers with build dates from 1992, 1994 and 1999 -- to confirm it and he was (sadly) right. Who knows, maybe your JVC is an exception and Maximo doesn't know about it. But, do you think Mel needs S-VHS resolution in the car for the kids? And who needs another VCR?
My JVC VCR is less than a year old, and the DV-05 is about 3 years hold. Beats me why, but it seems to work fine. This sounds like a case of caveat emptor.
