Yes, I used to use a box between the video player and a recorder - but
the best tool is a Canopus ADVC100 or later models. A little (if at all)
documented feature is that passing anything through the Canopus disables
all macrovision. Paid about £200 GBP for mine years ago....

You need a TBC, not an analogue DV converter (although the some of
the more expencive models do contain a TBC also)! All marcovision does
is disrupt the sync pulses, reconstruct the sync and all will be well,
disclaimer except that what the OP wants to do is still illegal
/disclaimer.

I have a perfectly good Macrovision remover. It has a full Scart In and
Out. Mail me if you'd be interested but really I'm only looking for about
£15 for the device.

No, a perfectly legal time base corrector. I have one of these too,
brilliant for sorting out crap quality in old VHS tapes etc, whether
copywrite or otherwise.

I received an Alba DVD Recorder from someone on my local Freecycle Group and
which I use for recording from the Tv on.

I also have a Panasonic DVD Recorder.

What I try to do is keep my favourite programs on one DVD so that it is much
easier to view later.

The trouble is that when I try to record on the Panasonic from the Alba a
message keeps popping up on screen saying NoREC and that I am trying copy
copyrighted material and will therefore not record.

Hence the reason for the CopyGaurd remover

The TBC device is perfectly legal (a device sold as a "Macrovision
defter" is not BTW, although difficult to stop being sold) but what
you might wish to use it for makes it illegal, just as it's perfectly
legal to own petrol but if you then decide to copy a certain Mr
Molotov...!
