Page 1 of Copying dvd to video

i have a samsung 511 anyone know how i can copy a dvd to video without it turning black & white
thanks

Buy an external macrovision remover. There is no way to stop THIS player from adding macrovision signals to the video.

If the picture is comming out black and white it sounds more like you are trying to copy NTSC DVD`s in which case you will need to convert the video signal into PAL first and then remove the macrovision - the convertors are generally a few hundred £ - the boxes to remove macrovision are about £50 ish

..But remember kids, copying DVDs is very naughty, so don`t do it! ;)

I`ve course I only use mine because macrovision causes problems with my projector - honest gov`ner !!!

They are normally called video stabilisers - try www.keene.co.uk (there mine came from) , www.techtronics.com , www.maplin.co.uk (expensive and the same one`s as keene though) or most other audio/video shops.

P.s. don`t bother asking to buy a device that will copy videos and DVD`s when you ring up - they won`t say it will because obviously thats illegal ! - not that anyone does copy DVD`s or videos of course !! ;)

I tried lookin around and even asked a few people in maplin (not telling them what I wanted it for) and none of them seem to know what one is :(
