Panasonic DMR-ES15 - Macrovision Overexposure

[ENunn]

i'm capping some retail tapes, some of them have macrovision. i usually use my tbc-3000 paired with my ag-1980's tbc, but on some tapes i have an issue where part of the screen is lagged behind for a frame or two, so for those tapes i have to turn the tbc off and run it through my es15. however, the whites are blown out. is there any way around this? my capture card is a gv-usb2, if that matters.

It's a well-known problem. Try researching this board for ideas. Here's one example:

i can't seem to find any leads other than maybe a proc amp before the es15. but a good one is probably out of my budget. are there any other options?

edit: i apparently can't use a proc amp before the es15 since a proc camp digitizes the signal. i read a German forum thread of someone modifying an s-video cable with some resistors on the luma line, but i'm not that confident in my soldering skills.
