This Is what you do. There are three great way to get arounf this problem so easy. If you have a DVD player and want to use a capture card you have to go to best buy and get the Sima Copy Master this work's great. IF you want to copy from DVD to VHS. Go to simacorp.com get the box SCC model this get rid of the MAcrovision crap. Or if you have a DVD card in you PC by Hollymagic or Soundblaster you can use remote selector you can get it at gamecopyworld

I did post a question about macrovision free apex660 here.
One advice is the Apex failure rate is unusally high among dvd player.

One way to get around macrovision is use DVDripper.
I assume all DVD rip are Macroviision free, but I was told it take 5~6 hours to rip a DVD ?

A word of advice from a frustrated UK PAL Radeon user who is trying to copy legitimate camcorder videos and VHS copies of the same. Begrudgingly I bought a Sima Colour Corrector, which in the UK costs a hefty £150 and it still didn't cure the problem. Sure, the problem was reduced from flashes every second to every 5 or 10 seconds, but that is all. My understanding is that macrovision detection is much more flaky for PAL capture.

There must be some sort of continuum of signal between normal and macrovision. I just can't understand why ATI can't lower the sensitivity of detection. It seems highly unethical on ATI's part to apply the medieval approach of the ducking stool, whereby they enforce copy protection by preventing all copying.

It is also counter-productive, because I now have a tool which with other devices does allow me to make illegal copies. Will I use it for this purpose? Dunno, but of course the temptation is now there, where it wasn't before.
