Never heard of those brands. Nope.

But I have an Apex DVD player than can do EVERYTHING. Including defeat macrovision and copy a DVD to tape. Or more usefully, a scene or section of a DVD to a "great scenes" tape or two.

Unfortunately I have destroyed it. One of the great trageies of my life. Well, anyway, a very bad move.

As in leaving the DVD tray open, huge tube DVD on industrial cart right up to my home office, leaving same, knocking same hard with my shin, oooppppssss.

As in Apex has been terrorized by Hollywood into repairing none of their early outlaw DVD players without removing that capability.

This is total bummers ville.

Uuuuuggggg. Well, I've been busy. But I've got to figure some end run here.

Go Video DVD/VCR combo will Not allow you to record DVD movies to VHS,Unless the unit was alterd to do so.The sure way to do this is is to buy a Sima stabalizer that has copy protection 1 and 2 bypass.
Use your stand alone DVD player with any VCR and edit away.
Peace

I've tried to dub from Panasonic, Sony and Toshiba DVD's onto different makes of VCR's with the same problem; picture, but no sound.
Go-Video claims that you can dub from DVD to VCR AS LONG AS THE DVD IS NOT COPY PROTECTED!
I plan to pick one up in the near future. I'll post my findings.

Here in Australia, it's easy-peasy to get your dvd players modified to remove macrovision and region coding. ANYWHERE you buy a player will either have modified machines or the phone number of someone who will modify your machine for you, at a small charge and the destruction of your warranty.

It's also common (or was when I bought my machine just under 2 years ago) to get factory-modified macrovision and region-free players, which is what I have. We're talking leading-brand players, too, not cheapass ones.

Just have a look 'round. I can't imagine we have all manner of mods here and there's nothing in the US...

cheers,

scopio,
Region-mods are MUCH more rare in the US than they are in the rest of the world. The primary reason for region mods is so the other places of the world can view Region 1 DVD's because they are usually available before other regions. Since the US is Region 1, this not necessarily needed.

The other reason that region-mods are not as popular in the US is that we use the NTSC television system here. While most PAL TV's will also play NTSC material, the opposite is not true. There are very few TV's in the US that are capable of playing PAL discs. So even without region coding, most people in the US are not capable of playing the disc from other parts of the world.

Bill,

yep, I'm aware of the region 1 issue, and that many more PAL TVs can also display NTSC than vice versa, but the thing that still amazes me about mods, etc being so rare over there is simply the population difference.

I mean there's bound to be WAY, WAY less outlets for mods on a per-population ration, but there's only 18million people here. The city in which I live (Melbourne) has a population of 3million. With as many ex-pats and immigrants from all over the world as the US has (at least many of the cities), not to mention overall population, I would have imagined it possible to find someone doing mods (or someone doing ANYTHING) with a bit of looking around...

Perhaps in cities' Chinatowns would be a good place to start looking? They're always good. Lots of imported Japanese anime dvds and the like, and you've got to be able to play them somehow...

cheers,

scipio
