Copying from your DVD player to Video Cassette
If you have a home unit, copying a DVD -> VCR tape will
produce a bad copy!
The Consumer Electronics Manufacturers Association, working in tandem with
manufacturers and software companies, created a new engineering standard, EIA\IS-702,
which will guard the copyrights of DVD. Using the Macrovision System already
employed in many VHS cassettes, the vertical interval and color burst of the analog copy
is distorted, significantly degrading the copy. With such inferior copies, unlawful
copying of DVDs to VHS tape will be greatly reduced.
