now that i fixed the vcr issue, i got another one. for some reason media
center will not record this one vhs tape. it has some sort of protection
on it that media center detects that stops it from recording the media. do
you know how to disable the protection on the tape? before today i did not
even know that there was any protection on vhs tapes at all. please help.
That's not so easy.
Some tapes use macrovision to prevent them being copied. There are some
software hacks that would disable it on some graphics cards. You could try
to google your card for macrovision hacks. Most newer graphics card have a
chip built into them that looks for copy protection schemes on tapes and
DVD's. Other then that you would need to buy a video stabilizer box that
hooks up in line between the VCR and your capture device. Or a analog
capture card. It might not be worth it for a few tapes. I had a bunch of VCR
tapes I wanted to convert so I tried them both. The analog capture card was
the best.
