use), preferring instead, to stick to VHS. Likewise, they don't watch
DVDs either. And yes, I've patiently explained that in around 12
months, they'll have almost no choice in the matter.

I think I'll sneak in one night and steal their VHS machines. It's the
only way.

Don't they have any old tapes they want to watch sometimes? There must
be a
massive amount of stuff on tapes out there. People either chuck them
out or they
need a VCR.

For about $40 you can get a little gadget with 3 RCAs on one side and a
USB plug on the other that converts whatever video comes in to DVD via
your PC. I'll chuck the pile of tapes and the VCR when I get around to
doing it :)

PS Of course the result looks just a shitty as the original did, but we
didn't know any better in those days.

There are special filters on moden NLE's to get that shitty look of old
tapes, film and TV sets. Ironic isn't it.

Will they also add scratchy and surface noise to your MP3 to simulate
vinyl

"David Wanker = FUCKWIT "


** FFS - imbecile, the whole purpose of Macrovision is to defeat
RECORDING of a video signal by a VCR.

Irrelevant to my question, which was about the device.


** But 100% relevant to MY question - CUNTHEAD !!!

What was about what you were doing with it.



I described the setup ...


** We can all see what you wrote and it is completely MISLEADING !!

No.


** Go get totally fucked - you VILE autistic pile of SHIT !!!

YOU CANNOT CONTROL what people THINK !!

or may decide ask you by deliberate *OMISSION* of the actual facts.


Go straight to HELL and burn - you fucking stupid TROLL.

"David Wanker "

Quote from above: "video input to a VCR"
No mention of copying.

** But you did mention copying:

But not that I was copying anything.


** Pedantic bullshit - like all your thinking.


" Its purpose is to remove the Macrovision copy protection .. "


Macrovision only affects VCRs when RECORDING to tape.

It affects my Sony VCR whether recording or not.


** That is not usual.


** The you need to explain more - cos TV sets are not bothered by
Macroviosion.

I explained enough for what I was asking.


** You made everyone think you were recording to the VCR

- by failing to mention that you were not.

Fuckwit.

It's as though Phil is determined to get to this point in every thread he
responds to. He's only on Usenet to look for excuses to fly off the handle at
someone.


No he's only on Usenet because nobody can stand him in real life.
