On Saturday I saw a friend's DVD player in action. It cost £300 and doesn't recognise macrovision copy protection or regional codes, and so allows copying to videotape without hindrance. I don't know what make it is but he found out about it without difficulty through looking at ads in a Home Cinema magazine -- the ad makes a point of mentioning the disabling of regional codes and macrovision. He bought it locally (London). ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: http://bama.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html
