A Macrovision remover, macro buster, copy protection eliminator, video stabilizer or video filter etc. will solve Macrovision issues known to cause video transfer signal interference, Recording stop & prevention and picture quality disruption. Although there are some macrovision disabled DVD players available for VHS to DVD transfer, an external device offers more connection options:

Why the Need to remove
macrovision? Some plasma televisions,
projection televisions & large screen LCD televisions can have a degraded
picture because they require a "Macrovision removed" signal when
viewing from DVD or VCR to DVD. This is because Macrovision copy protection and
CGMS signals embedded in the VBI (vertical blanking interval) are deigned to
have a detrimental effect on analogue AGC (automatic gain control) circuits.
There are many Macrovision buster devices available but you should look at the
legal implications that apply in your country.
There are many names
used to describe these devices: macrovision filter, disabler,
remover, hack, buster, eliminator and removed, to name but a few. There are
also many brand names, such as macro master, macromaster+, macromaster plus,
macro magic, smart leads, Vice1000, DVD Red, copymate and macro CGMS copy
protection remover.
Sonel brought the first
external macrovision defeating cable to the market with the
launch of the original MacroMaster. This was the first device available with
all the electronics and software built in to the SCART cable. In recent times
many replica cables have been designed (copies and clones) but the edge has
always been with Sonel who have been able to supply new and improved software
long before the copies and clones can.
The laws are changing,
so in compliance with these laws and in order to offer you long term backup for
your purchases, we bring you the VICE1000 (Video Image Caption Encoder). This
device is designed and manufactured abroad and was developed exclusively for
professional caption editing and video streaming applications; as a side effect
the VICE1000 unit has to replace any copy protection, Teletext or caption
information currently ion video signal passing through it with its own VBI Code
(Vertical Blanking Interval).

The Vice 1000 Unit (pictured
left), has a very simple, but also very flexible set of
connections; in fact the VICE 1000 offers what is probably the most flexible set
of connections on any such device currently available: SVHS, SCART and
Composite.
How it
works and why it is legal - The
VBI which the VICE1000 replaces is the area used by many companies
(Teletext and Macrovision) to incorporate their information into a standard
video signal. The VBI has existed since Television was invented.
Copyright laws
currently state:
(1) A person commits an offence if he -
(a) makes for sale or hire, or
(b) imports otherwise than for private & domestic use or
(c) in the course of a business -
(i) sells or lets for hire, or
(ii) offers or exposes for sale or hire, or
(iii) advertises for sale or hire, or
(iv) possesses, or
(v) distributes, or
(d) distributes otherwise than in the course of a business to such an
extent as to affect prejudicially the copyright owner. Any device, product
or component which is primarily designed (ITS FIRST USE), produced, or
adapted (MACROVISION HACK, MULTI REGION HACK) for the purpose of enabling
or facilitating the circumvention of effective technological measures (A
SYSTEM WHICH ONLY PREVENTS COPYING AND WORKS UNAIDED FROM MANUFACTURES
ADDITIONAL CIRCUTRY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT)
The VICE1000
has not been designed to specifically do any of the above: its purpose is
entirely different - the copy protection in the VBI area is merely replaced
as side effect of the VICE1000 carrying out its normal operations in which
it write its own information into the VBI area
