RCA Dvd Recorder, Copyright restrictions.

[dmeyer07]

Model: DRC8030N

I'm trying to simply copy some movies to my harddriver, or vice versa and i get a pop-up that says it cannot do that due to "Coopy right restrictions"

Is there ANY way to bypass this?

Thank you so much,

buy a converter for your recorder. better yet use your computer to rip the files to your hard drive.

Read the Guides......or old post........

Any copying which involves only the hardware in your recorder will be blocked, like copying from the built in DVD to the hard drive.

There are techniques which may work using a separate DVD player and some additional hardware and your recorder, and others involving a PC with a DVD burner but all are illegal.

The solution?
Go vote next time, and vote for people who will - or at least *try* to - represent your interests instead (of the corrupted pigs representing corporations' interests, that no one seems to understand how they were elected in the first place...)

And which party do you think contains people who give a damn about the public's interest?

I belong to one party and believe they are only slightly less crooked than the other party.

If any candidate is a "career puiblic servant" or a lawyer they are likely to be representing someone's interest and not yours.

As the old wobbly Utah Phillips (a man who's like a stopped clock - right twice a day) says "if God had meant us to vote, he'd have given us candidates."

Unless you are willing to be come a candidate, recruit a candidate or truly know a candidate to be an honest man, voting solves nothing. And if an honest man runs, he'll probably lose.

Why are so many of these probable "bait topics" being started by people with 1 post under their belt?
I suggest we stop replying to these type of posts until the OP posts again....but that is just my opinion....I'm a suspicious kind of guy.

This is why recorders are returned to the store, people find out they can't copy commercial stuff.

well, what is your suggestion then? Don't vote at all? Maybe if no one voted (or some ridiculus low percentage - say 2% only) do you think it'll change anything?

Yes, I didn't notice that.
It is a bait topic indeed. I have to remind myself to look up OP's postcount next time before replying

Unfortunately, NOT Voting is the best action. Being vocal about NOT voting is even better. But you can be selective - vote only in local elections where you know the candidates and your experience tells you they can be trusted.

If you don't vote, the pollsters can't be accurate and if they aren't accurate they get fired. A candidate might in their absence take a stand based on beliefs - a step on the road to cleaning up the government mess.

Our foundong fathers never envisioned authorizing everyone to vote, so not voting is certainly not un-American.

What I did was just use a macrovision free dvd player to copy to the dvd recorder. I have an Apex 1500 that does that.

oldandintheway first post states the answer and read the second paragraph carefully

AFAIR from history classes - the 'real' democracy (as in ancient Greece or Rome) is nothing even close to what we call democracy.
Not everyone had right to vote, and much less were allowed to candidate. Certainly it wasn't perfect, but at least history shows that their democracies lasted hundreds of years, while our 'democracy' comes to a halt or a dead end within just half a century since the times we allowed each and every moron in a country to vote or candidate.
But thats yet another OT...
I don't remember who said that, but "even buying a loaf of bread is politics" is very true statement - and on the subject
