I just put in a VHS movie I wanted to watch on my MythTV through S-Video connection to my PVR-500MCE card. I noticed I couldn't see any picture but could hear sound, and then remembered that I had problems with VHS tapes viewed this way because of Macrovision.
Anyway, I was just wondering the following:
1. what cards out there do not have Macrovision protection.I think I read somewhere that the PVR-250 cards do not have it, but I am wondering if that applies only to the earlier revisions or even the more current ones. Does the Avermedia M150 have Macromedia protection?
2. anyway, I just wanted to watch the movie today and was disappointed that I could not (at least in this way). So now I'm wanting to also copy the video to DVD so I can avoid this kind of thing in the future and also be able to preserve my VHS movie on a DVD and avoid the tape degradation. Is this possible and can it be done relatively economically and easily?
If anyone knows of a way to do this, please let me know.
