    I recently purchased a Sony DVD recorder. My goal is to make DVD copies for my adult children of all of our family camcorder videos which were originally transferred to VHS tape. I would also like to re-record onto DVD a couple of old copy-protected VHS tapes for MY USE ONLY. (The original VHS production company is no longer in business.) Is there a LEGAL work around to the copy-protect feature?

    cant tell you about the legalities off the top of my head, but the SIMA is a good copy protection bypasser from what I have been told (my answer probably tells you how "legal" it is.

    The Sima device $50 bucks .... will work for VHS tape machines ... only ... not for DVD players. I know ... I have one.

    DVD disk / DVD players use a more advanced copy protection scheme.
