Does Sima Color Corrector fix ATI MV Alternating Light/Dark?

[BrainStorm69]

Well, now that I know the built in TBC on my JVC HR-S9900U doesn't correct the problem, I'm wondering if anyone knows whether the Sima SCC Color Corrector fixes this issue. Anyone know from experience?

SIMA won't cut it. You need a full-on standalone digital TBC. The AVT 8710 costs $179 and works well. The roughly equivalent but more expensive Datavideo TBC 1000 costs $300 and also fixed Macrovision problems.
The latest version of the ATI PVR software contains Macrovision embedded inside it so MV can no longer be removed with a hack. You may want to go back to an earlier version of the ATI PVR software, on which MV can be defeated.

I'd suggest your JVC TBC is not working properly.

I sure hope that's not the case. I think the TBC is working fine as it "cleans up" some of my older non-commercial VHS tapes quite nicely. I guess I need to try it out on some other commercial tapes in my family's library. It may be that our "Spy Kids" tape just happens to be problematic with the ATI.
