Scrambled output of my DVD on TV

[rchopra]

Experts,

i have created a DVD (my personal one) and I am not able to display on TV thro' VCR. If i play it directly to TV, it works great but thro' VCR i get scrambled video, very much like som of the DVDs i rent. Why do i have protection enabled in this personal DVD which i created. Also, i use Verbatim DVD -R. Also, i can only play -R on my DVD player. None of the -RW, +RW works which is fine with me.

I am kinda stuck with this issue and desperately need an answer.

Thanks in advance

You're DVD player is adding some kind of copy-proction(probally Macrovision) to its output that you're VCR barfs on. Either run it directly to your TV or see if there is a 'disable macrovision' hack for your DVD player.

Macrovision is realized by continously raising and lowering the brightness of the picture. ie one moment u have a bright picture whereas the next u have a very dark one. I really don't think that this is the issue here. What wee have here is probably a bad encoding in the video.

Guys,

I used DVD Decrypter to eliminate the problem. I used ISO read and ISO write back to the DVD. Now i can play it thro's VCR and can record the DVDs.

Thanks for everyone's help.

You're Standalone DVD Player is definately adding Macrovision.

You must plug your DVD straight into the TV, otherwise you have to purchase a Macrovision remover or buy a DVD player that doesn't add Macrovision, check out www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers
