There are a couple of other ways to get around Macrovision on DVDs.
A copy of a DVD made on a PC the copy will play without Macrovision. I find it quite amusing that the act of copying defeats a system intended to prevent copying in the first place.
Macrovision can be disabled on many cheap off brand DVD players either by entering a code to change a "hidden" setting or by installing modified firmware. The modified firmware usually has additional benefits of being region free and allowing you to skip warnings and ads that are normally unskippable.
On some DVD players Macrovision is not present on the RGB output (those that don't take sync for the RGB output from the composite video output). Feed the RGB output into an NTSC/PAL encoder (such as the Jrok video board) and you composite video without Macrovision.
