Ripping A Vhs & The Dvd Recorder Stops Recording?

[Cjlcooter]

Hello i just have a basic question i am trying to rip a very old metallica vhs show that starts to record fine to the dvd recorder but then because there is blue screens in the video for like 5 seconds in a row off & on (you still hear the sound) but the dvd recorder stops recording how can i get around this so i can finish ripping the vhs to the dvd recorders HDD maybe there is no way around this though thanks.

Try to turn off the blue screen function on the dvd recorder,
you will get "the war of the ants" but maybe it wont stop,
if the blue screen is on the tape i don't think you can get around
it,

hello my dvd recorder does not have that option i have found out what the problem is.. because this is a older vhs show it has a copyright protection on it so i cannot copy it to my dvd recorder.

You'll need to buy a special lead to connect the DVD Recorder to your VCR. I got a scart which bypasses copy-protection from ebay.

Are you trying to copy an official VHS? If it is a bootleg or something off tv you should not have any copyright issues. If it is offical you need to by a copyright bypass which will strip the macrovision before it gets to the dvd recorder. I have one of these it it works very nicely. It is called "The Clarifier" www.FacetVideo.com (I dont know if this still is available, as I purchased it some time ago)

You should know better when transferring a video with copyright protection you need as a pass through to your dvd recorder a macrovision remover. This will remove the macrovision. They are very inexpensive, do a google search. But if you are in habit of transferring a lot of vhs tapes. Consider a SVHS deck with a time based corrector.
