Page 1 of help to disable macro on liteon 5005 recorder

i have been trying to copy my sons childrens videos onto dvd but i am having problems with it.
i heard that if you record a blank video for two minutes then pause the dvd recorder while swaping the blank video for the origional this disables the copyright protection,

problem is this only seems to last for about 10 minutes and then the recording automaticaly stops and says the content is write protected.

can anyone help please because he is driving me mad to watch some of his old tapes and im too tight to go out and buy them again on dvd.

You need to load hacked software onto your recorder. It will remove Mackro and give you
a 3 hour recording option as well.

Without getting into hacked firmwares try this (courtesy of a thread over at Videohelp)

Therefore, the simple way to disable macrovision is to do this:

1) Do all of your connections between the DVD Recorder and the unit you are recording from- EXCEPT do not connect the video cable to the unit you are recording from.
2) When you begin recording, choose the source you are going to record from. You`ll notice that it will be a blank screen, or fuzz (because you don`t have the video cable plugged in yet).
3) Hit RECORD, then after one second, hit PAUSE.
4) Plug the video cable in and UNPAUSE.

YOU CAN NOT USE STOP- YOU MUST PAUSE ONLY.

You should now be able to record from the device without problem. Works GREAT.

For this to work you cannot connect via scart, therefore connect using the RCA connections Red/White/Yellow with Yellow being the Video feed, connect from the rear of the VCR to the front input on the Liteon. If your VCR has no such output use a Scart adaptor - one should have been in the box.


If it ain`t broke hit it harder
