I have been trying to copy VHS to computer, to burn on DVD, and all my home made VHS videos, are coming up copyright protected, WHY,?

you need to download a patch from the EZCAP website cant remember the link. It is a software issue with the program used to convert the video.

As I recall there is something in the settings that presets all videos to copy protect. I found a solution on a Google Search and it worked for me. Sorry I don't remember the link. It's been a long time.

I really have no answer. The only thing I can suggest is that perhaps you punched out the tab so that the tape could not be overwritten by accident. Would it be possible that the program could read this as a copyrightprotection, so it would not process it? In case that is the problem, just put some tape over the "hole" and see if that works. Have you sent a question to the EZ folks? I found them to be helpful, but I was still not able to transfer my 8mm tapes to DVDs.

(Electronics) This device is ideal for any analog video capturing. (VHS, 8mm...) Having gone through the easy setup and installation, I made my first atttempt to capture one of my VHS home movies. Fifteen minutes into the video capture, the recording stopped and displayed this message: "VIDEO IS COPYRIGHT PROTECTED.VIDEO CAPTURE WILL NOT RESUME". Don't sweat it. All you have to do is disable the protection pop-up. Here's the fix. And trust me, it works. Haven't had a single issue since this fix. Enjoy. You have to edit a configuration file. Navigate to: C:\Program Files\ArcSoft\TotalMedia ShowBiz\com.ArcSoft.CaptureModule\ Open "CaptureModule.ini" with notepad. Add "ProtectOn=0" under "[CaptureModule]" and save. If it does not let you save, it is because your pc user permissions need to be changed. Right click on the file, select properties select "security" at the top click on "users" and click on the "edit" box Put a click in all the boxes and click on "apply" Now it will let you edit and save the file.

I have not found a way to do that. I have been able to copy some VHS titles but most, including Disney, I have not been able to. Unless there is a feature I haven't found yet, I would look for a different unit.

The GREX only removes the copyright protection that does not allow copying or decent playback. I have used it to copy older VHS tapes with were copyright protected (did not allow copying to DVD). The GREX removed the copyright protection and allowed me to copy the VCR tapes to a DVD for preservation.

You can do both, directly to DVD or the computer. If you record your VHS directly to DVD you can not edit the recording. If you do your recording to the computer you can edit the movie (Enhancing the color, bright & contrast, etc). That means that your movie wil looks a lot better.

yes, but some programs are blocked / protected. A blue screen will appear saying some thing indicating the program is protected. All of my recordings are from movies that I have saved on my DVR. Most will record but some will not. Strange, but some times the blocked programs still record even though I get the waring display. If a warning display appears don't give up. Try "write to disc" anyway. you have nothing to loose. I have a ton of DVR recordings. This DVD recorder was well worth it to me. I only wished I purchased a VCR / DVD recorder to make it easier to record that old box of VCR home movies I have.

you would have to use the "Dubbing" function to record to a VHS tape. you would have to start the "dubbing" to transfer a program and then stop recording during the commercial and then start recording the program until the next commercial. if you want a DVD of the program you would reverse the "Dubbing" function to transfer a VHS tape to a DVD. the process is time consuming since you will be starting and stopping the "Dubbing" but i have done it.

You have the ability to "Dub" in either direction. (DVD-&gt;VHS, VHS-&gt;DVD) Provided, of coarse, that the DVD is not digitally copy protected. As for editing commercials out of a VHS recording, you would first need to dub to DVD, then use the Edit Command to manually change your chapter marks. Once this is done, then you choose the chapter(commercials) you want to "hide" and mark it as such. Repeat until all desired "chapters" are hidden and you are ready to view a commercial free show. A note on hiding chapters. This is done VIRTUALLY. Hidden chapters are not actually removed from the DVD, they just do not appear during playback. So, if you would be looking to play such an edited disc in another machine, after finalizing, the "hidden" commercials would again be present and play right along with the rest of the show.

yes if you connect it between the vcr output and the DVD burner input. It will override the copyright

not sure but i think dvd loads into the machine and can upgrade but vhs does not load into the machine it plays through the tape in the vhs cartridge so is unable to upgrade .

Never tried to save on my computer. I've always burned to dvds or video tape. You can get a dvd and vcr mechine . I like vcr tape the best easy to view and erase.

If you are asking about VHS transferred to PC and then make a DVD I have had no luck with the programs they advertise to transfer to the PC. I have a Panasonic VHS copier to DVD which is what is left on the market I used to use Go-Video which was a great machine but they are gone. Then to make DVDs I use AVS programs to convert Blessings, Rita

Didn't seem to be, we only used it to digitize our vhs stuff so we only used one type of disc that we bought like twenty of. It's been awhile but I don't remember it giving us any problems

I think its a timing situation - basically, this doesn't feel like a feature more like a loophole (one which will be gladly exploited; I don't bootleg movies, I get it that its serious, and I don't need it forced, I mean, vcr's had FF>>). I may incorrect again, but then I'm guessing I'm still doing it wrong :-/

I don't know guys, I still haven't figured it out. Reading thru other posts here is making me think I'm going to return this thing. I really thought I'd like it, but if I can't string together my video clips to burn to DVD, WHAT is the point? It doesn't seem you can ask this question at the Vado official site either w/out first entering all the numbers off the box it came in. What a pain, I don't carry the box around w/ me. They also do not have an 800# that I can find on the site to call. Frustrating! I wonder how many customers they are losing?

You need some way to kill the write protect either by a "Macrovision Killer" or a digital converter. It will not Dub as I hoped it would. I have not tried to copy a protected VHS through the PC yet.

I was wondering the same thing. we have never transferred them to vhs and no longer have a vcr. any suggestions for the easiest way to transfer would help.
