Macrovision is in VCR hardware, it can only defeated by a hardware remover device. Cost about $29 to $59.

Since you only has a few movies to deal with, buying DVD is the easiest way out : http://www.amazon.com/Holiday-Inn-Special-Mark-Sandrich/dp/B000I0QL82/sr=8-3/qid=11620...?ie=UTF8&s=dvd

I have a link to another website for the same product ... at a cheaper price.

Here is the link ---> CLICK HERE

I don't have one of these myself but I understand that it works (i.e., defeats copy protection) on most but not all VHS videos.

P.S.
On second look it seems that the two devices are a bit different yet very similiar at the same time so I dunno if both work equally well.

If you have a DV camcorder with passthrough it may also defeat Macrovision and Macrovision-like symptoms.
