Hi folks,
Need your help. I am planning to by a ADVC-100 but I need to know if ADVC-100 can bypass the macrovision found in PAL VHS.


I know from the various post on this site that it does bypass macrovision in NTSC VHS. But nobody has mentioned PAL VHS.

It does not have complete macrovision blocking capabilities but I don’t know if any device does. For example it did not block macrovision on a PAL VHS tape (Song of the South). So far I haven’t had any problems with macrovision on NTSC tapes.
I found one post (shown above) which said that "it did not block macrovision for PAL VHS"

Can somebody please help in resolving this issue.

I currently have an ATI AIW 128 capture card on Windows XP. Unfortunately that cannot bypass macrovision.

And unfortunately here I dont have the option of buying the ADVC100 testing it and then returning it if it does not meet my requirements. Once I buy it I am stuck with it.

thanks in advance folks
