Hi.
I have Pioneer DVR-310 DVD Recorder and a lot of Disney Videos. I want to transfer them to DVD but unfortunatly I can't do it as my recorder says "Copyrighted Material" What can I do against it?
Thank you.

I can see they have a new product - Grex.
Any references about it?

Here is the link (somehow it is not easy to find from the web site)

Hi!

As an alternative, do a Googlesearch for "Remove Macrovision" and another search for "Digital Video Stabilizer".

These searches will yield sources for so-called "black boxes", typically selling for $30-$40US, that overcome the protection you've encountered...

additionally, most hardware TBCs can strip the offending lines out of a video signal, as well as stabilising the picture (what setarip said...).

it's a shame that Disney stagger their DVD release dates over such a long time (and then they'll only release a relatively short run right before christmas, then pull it off the shelves). unfortunately it's a strategy that works and they know it.
