VCD to VHS problem

[DJ!]

I've bought myself a second DVD player (philips 633) to play VCD's and MP3's. I have burned a few VCD's using Nero which play fine on my Philips player.

I wanted to copy a couple of the VCD's onto VHS so I could lend them to friends, but here is my problem.

When I hooked up my DVD player to my Panasonic video, and played back what I recorded, for some reason, the copy protection had kicked in and the picture was shaky and the sound was in and out. When playing the VCD through the video, the picture is perfect, but on playback, it isn't.

The VCD's aren't copy protcted, they are just a couple of live concerts.

I checked that I had recorded them in PAL format because my Panasonic isn't NTSC compatible, and I had recorded them in PAL. I have another video player, a Sony, which I haven't yet tried to see if it works, but even still, it's left me a bit confused as to why i'm having this problem.

Can any of you help? or have any sugestions as to why it's doing what it's doing?

I beleive the Macrovion type protection is built into the dvd player - not on the cd. Look in the 'hacks' section to see if their is a way to disable macrovision with your player.
