What region setting do i use to get rid of the macrovision? Also it said the guy was not sure how many times it would work will this damage my dvd player?

Do you have a dvd rom in your computer. If so do a rip of the DVD, this way gets around macrovision and you will get better quality VCD's.

Regional Settings on DVD players have bugger all to do with Macrovision.

Whilst Macrovision can produce a number of unwanted artifacts, I haven't ever seen it produce "jerky" video. This symptom is far more likely to be caused by a misconfiguration in your capture card or capture settings.

Try using VirtualDub or AVI_IO for capturing and follow this guide.

If you still have problems then come back and at least everyone will be reading from the same hymn sheet.
