Wow that must take forever with how many VHS tapes you buy. I guess you burn them while watching?
Do you have a macrovision remover? I used to have one for my old CRT projector since it was reacting to the copyright block. I didn't know at first why the picture kept going dark and light all the time and went through 3 vcr's before someone suggested it was Macrovision that did it.

No. I have not idea what to do with this copyrighted thing. When a DVD goes in and the VHS ends up having that copyright thing, I just have to throw the DVD away. I think if the VHS will not copy I will just have to actually dump them. Because I have too many and I need space. The copyright thing is killing 3/4ths of my collection.

 

You need something like this to put in the signal chain (assuming you're not using a vhs + dvd-r combo machine)

It's not cheap though.
