Yes please report what it does to protected dvds Macrovision lines, maybe I can get this thing and not have to burn a bunch of dvds! thanks

Well the device arrived within 4 days of ordering. It seems to work just fine as a Macrovision remover. Installation is quick and simple as the unit is powered from an internal 9 volt battery that auto senses when a video signal is active on it's input. Suppost to be 2000 hr battery life.

So I have been copying both old commercial VHS tape and a few commercial DVDs just to see that it worked, and none have failed to copy. Now this allows only analog copying which is no big deal when dealing with less then outstanding quality of VHS tapes, however I suspect the DVD to DVD via analog losses some resolution, but is fine for my purposes which was to find a way to get rid of hundreds of VHS tape taking up so much room.
