First of all, yes, your intended use of your DVDs falls within fair use rights.

To make crystal clear copies of DVDs on VHS (I use S-VHS machines from JVC and Panasonic), get a Sima Color Corrector. It sells for about $170, and I think J&R has it. Do NOT buy the the $60 Sima copy box, it is for PAL, even though none of the retailers seem to tell you this. Here's a link to the Sima site:

It has served me flawlessly for three years, and has never failed to remove any type of MacroVision from DVDs.
