burning a dvd from encryted vhs tape

[miltie]

i have a vhs tape i cannot burn to dvd. i've tried two different ways,,,with two different types of dvd burners(a sony dvd recorder and a sony burner).... no-can-do. i have it setup from vcr-dvd burner-tv. i thought maybe the vcr would decode and send the video out so i could burn. i was wrong.

is there a way to overcome this?

thanks

If you are referring to the Macrovision protection on the VHS tape, you need a Digital Video Stabilizer to remove the protection in between VHS OUT & DVD IN.

is there supposed to be some kind of label?,,,or can i assume it is macrovision protected.
i googled stabalizers and there were several results. which are the best and what should i look for?,,,something that can be upgraded regularly?

thx

Hi!is there supposed to be some kind of label?,,,or can i assume it is macrovision protected.If it's a commercial tape, it's safe to assume it contains Macrovision protection...

i bought a sima.To capture just one tape? I hope it's something rare, like "Song of the South"...
