Panasonic DVD recorder passthrough settings (DMR-ES10, DMR-ES15, DMR-ES25)

[flavio92]

Hi, I have a Blaupunkt RTV-925 EGC and the Panasonic DVD Recorder DMR-ES10. I want to pass my movies on pc and I'm going to buy a Canopus 110 and a firewire board for my pc. Does the DMR-ES10 fix the macrovision problem?

No.

Hello, I'm currently ripping my family recordings and I'm encountering a problem - some of my tapes are physically damaged at some points (you can hear a louder tape transport in the VCR and a noisy strip comes through the screen), my Panasonic DMR EH585 detects this as copy-protected content and stops recording. Is there a workaround for this problem or do I have to manually rewind the damaged parts?

Rewind.
Not to mention that ripping to MPEG2 is a bad idea. And certainly not with this Panasonic.

By the way, looking through the Service Manual for my recorder I found such an option, which in theory is full passthrough (maybe it will be useful to someone, but it only works rather for analog output):

I think by default it's off and you have full pass-through. In service mode you can enable compression and decompression and thus reduce quality.
