Disabling Macrovision on ATI card by hacking?

[cTx3]

I have asked lots of times and faild lots of times so I figure I will ask one last time.

I keep reading and coming across hacked drivers and hacking the registry and a couple other things I can't remember off the top of my head, Everytime I download the one that disables macrovision and install it it goes fine but the macrovision stays.

After reading over the Help file a couple of times I guess it only disables the Macrovision on OUTGOING video and not the INCOMING video.

Alot of the stuff I keep coming across points to the file but they never say it's for outgoing, but I read there is a way to for the incoming video and was wondering how to go about doing it? I don't know if it's against the rules to ask this or not but there's a couple of movies I want to convert to either DVD or atleast put them in a digital format for later conversion (if I want) but the macrovision makes it so the record button is disabled or an error message pops up while it is recording.

Ok, there is only one patch that I know of to disable Macro detection. It only works on older AIW cards with an old version of MMC. Since you have your record button greyed, that would mean you have a newer version of MMC so the patch wouldn't work.
Also I said it disabled detection. It does not disable the Macrovision itself. So you would be able to capture the video, but the video quality would be greatly degraded.
The only real choice here would be to get a device that sits between your VCR and capture card that would remove the macrovision signals. I can't give you a page off hand because availability changes so quickly on it. You can do a google search, try searching for demacro, macrovision remover, and video stabilizer. The devices usually run anywhere from $20 to as much as $200.

LordSmurf had a couple on his site, did you try them yet?

The main problem is that even if the hack works , it just
disables the detection. So you can capture , but the
light/dark effect remains.
There are Avisynth scripts that attempt to fix that.
The last one I tried is only 95%

The hardware things are really the only way

For incoming video just use a macrovision box. If its a dvd player, then use a macro free dvd player, apex 1500 are after firmware change.
