what is the best way to move retrace lines & macro especially on roundie color sets

[kramden66]

i've been searching the net for ideas and saw some older vk threads that say use a video stabilizer , don't use a macrovision remover ?
is it better to add a banking circuit in the set ?
i'd like to get rid of the macro retrace lines that come and go on certain dvds .
opinions please

I tried using a TBC, but it didn't work. Ended up buying a macro remover from eBay, worked like a champ.

Have been having really great results from a Link Electronics PRC-970 proc amp. Removes/replaces whatever lines you select from the VBI...

that Link PRC-970 is way too expensive for me , miniman what macro remover are you using or can suggest ?
does it have just the rca phono inputs or others like svhs ?

I found out recently that some DVD players have no macrovision on the component outputs while they do have it on the composite output (yellow). If you meet such a player, you might connect the component outputs directly to your TV or use an external color modulator.

I'm just seeing around for make a simply circuit that removes the teletext signals and its lines on the pictures. I friend of mine has made a very good circuit, as soon as possible I'll ask to you and put his schematic on VK.

Hey, that's the same one that I use. I bought mine years and thought they had gone out of business when their old web link disappeared. I guess they just moved to eBay.

Mine not only removes Macrovision, etc., from DVDs, it also eliminated a mysterious signal that appeared on certain channels on our cable system, making Macrovision-like inteference that drove some of my vintage TVs nuts (http://www.videokarma.org/showthread.php?t=263915).

I have used that one and it does the job.
