Huh?
There are actually 2 pieces of professional gear that I have that will get
around macrovision, 1 is a TBC (Time Base Corrector) and the other is a
distribution amp. Neither were hard to get, in fact the TBC is built into one
of my decks. Distribution amps are as common as dirt and vital if you're going
to record one signal onto multiple decks at the same time.
Oh I've also got an editing system that doesn't have any problem stripping away
macrovision. In fact I've recently been transfering my VHS movies to DVD. Yes
its a waste of time but I do it while I'm at work. I do phone support so theres
really no problem with my recording "Raiders of the Lost Ark" for instance
while talking to a customer.

DVDs have two layers of copy protection. The first is a digital
encryption scheme called CSS. This is widely misunderstood; it does
not, in any way, stop someone from copying an entire DVD to a
dual-layer
disc and playing it in a DVD player. What it does is prevent
extracting
the video in a form that can be played, edited, or reencoded, unless
the
proper decryption key is supplied.
The second layer is what prevents you from making a video tape
recording
of a DVD you're playing back. It's called Macrovision. It's an analog
scheme, also used on rental videocassettes, and in the case of DVDs
it's
actually applied to the outgoing signal by a circuit inside the DVD
player. I won't go into the technical details here, but it acts by
interfering with the automatic gain control in the VCR. The movie
industry is also augering for digital TV to include a similar scheme in
digital-to-analog set-top boxes, to keep people from making analog
recordings of digital broadcasts. It'd be switched on and off by a
"flag" in the signal, controlling what you could record and what you
couldn't.
At home I have a video projector that simply cannot deal with
Macrovision; it confuses it into thinking it doesn't have a valid video
signal. I ended up buying a "video stabilizer" to strip the
Macrovision
encoding off the signal. While I don't use this device for copying,
and
my use of it infringes no one's copyright, I had a hard time getting it
because the DMCA makes it illegal to sell or even to posess it. It's a
strange world we live in.

My uncle has done that trip about a half dozen=20
times on his motorcycle (starting in ME). I'd love to do it someday.
