Philips DVP 642 Deck Picks Up Where the GE 1101 Left Off   Message List

Re: [EZ Patch] Philips DVP 642 Deck Picks Up Where the GE 1101 Left Off


Regarding VCRs with Macrovision copy protection -

I do have a 5-year old VCR with Macrovision protection. I have seen
commercial DVD movies loaded in an un-patched DVD player connected to
the VCR's input RCA cables where the color fades in and out
constantly, or there's consistent display distortion going in and out.
After I have patched the DVD player's firmware to be
Macrovision-Free, this VCR connection/display problem goes away.

I did have an older VCR manufactured in 1985 that do not have the
Macrovision protection (but this VCR is now broken).

Just my 2 cents...

... Well, I'm baffled again. A dvd disk does not have the macrovision code embedded like a vcr. The macrovision encoder is built into the dvd machine and is...

... Thanks, now I understand what you were saying. I did understand how macrovision works on both tapes and DVD's, I just didn't understand the remark. Looks...

BTW, once you upgrade DVP642 to the latest firmware (1109) it's no longer MV free, so it may not be MV free out of the box, and Philips seems to not allow...
