This is both right and wrong. The macrovison signal is created by the DVD
player itself (as I stated before), and it can be disabled by various
methods and hacks, but it is option. There is a portion of the DVD that tell
the player to turn on macrovison or not. Same thing with parental lock-out,
and region coding. I have never known of a single DVD that didn't elect to
use this option though since only a fool would not copy protect his stuff if
it was a simple matter of turning a bit on of off.
I'm not going to go on about DVD anymore because this is a MD mailing list,
but I will say this to hopefully stifle at least another week of posts
regarding the copying of DVD sound onto minidisc dititally:
You can't do it, and it has nothing to do with SCMS, or any other copyright
system. The digital signal is totally incompatible with any MD player, not
just because of word leanth, and sampling rate, but because most DVDs have 6
channels of sound, where as MD has two. The only bitstream from a DVD that
you might be able to copy digitally to MD would be sub-par DVDs that have
MPEG sound intead of DD, or DTS.
In other words, just make an analogue copy.

"Let me explain a couple of things. Time is short. That's the
first thing. For the weasel, Time is a weasel. For the hero,
Time is heroic. For the whore, Time is just another trick.
If you're gentle, your Time is gentle. If you're in a hurry,
Time flies. Time is a servant, if you are its master. Time
is your god, if you are its dog. We are the creators of Time,
the victims of Time, and the killers of Time. Time is timeless.
That's the second thing. You are the clock, Cassiel."
