VHS copy protection

[oficinadamidia]

I need to put macrovision or some sort of scrambling on them to prevent further third party copying. Is their any device of their that can do it?
please help

There is probably no home consumer device that will do it for you since you need to pay Macrovision a royalty to use their analogue copy protection system.

the only vhs copy protection scheme i've ever heard of is 'macrovision', and i think only large companies have their tapes protected.. they charge a small fee per tape (i think may 25cents), but these companies order thousands of tapes to me protected.. and i believe the company that owns macrovision would strongly fight any 3rd party device that would put their protection on a tape.. because if it did, then they would lose lots and lots of money because the large corporations would then buy or make their own machines..

even if you did put macrovision on your tapes, people could buy a cheap video stablizer and make easy copies..

so the end result is, unless you're a million/billion dollar corporation, you're fucked.. and even if you were a million/billion dollar corporation, and people really wanted to copy your tapes, you'd still be fucked.

My friend...

I have a "nano" video producer, I invest in equipments and knowhow to do a good job, I make around 100 tapes/year and I lose money with improper copies, if I protect my tapes, the people that want to do copies they also need to spend time and money to learn and to do a copy.
If I am a great company would not be here asking questions in this high level forum hearing stupid comments as the one of our "My friend", I would go direct MACROVISION and it would hire the work.

8) By the way, I am already solve my problem by my self.
