I noticed there's certain channels or shows that my JVC DVD Recorder won't record and certain VHS tapes I own that I'm not able to dub to DVD. The error message says that the channel or video is copy protected and that it can't record it. Is there anything I can do or something I can buy to get around this, some kind or burner, duplicator, Macrovision eliminator (if that's even legal) or something else you guys could recommend?

i dont think that this site is a good place for this sort of discussion; you might want to try http://www.doom9.org/ or other sites devoted to backing up dvd's

Oh okay. Thanks for the heads up and the link.
