Those numeric designations are for DAT. MD uses the complements: 00 is restricted, 01 is prohibited, and 11 and 10 are unrestricted. CD is different yet: there is only one copy-protection bit per frame, and all ones mean unrestricted, all zeroes mean prohibited (I may have those two re- versed), and alternating ones and zeroes mean restricted. Because the actual bit representations are different for different media, I prefer the terms "SCMS-unlimited" for the settings that permit repeated generations of recopying, "SCMS-penultimate" for that which allows only one further generation, and "SCMS-final" for the uncopyable setting. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I know I can't make copys from the copy. If you're recording in analogue, then the MD will be "11" or SCMS restricted (ie. you can take a further copy). A subsequent digital copy of that MD will be "10" or SCMS prohibited (ie. you can't record another copy from it). Short version: yes, it'll work from MD1 (radio->MD) to MD2 (MD->MD) and keep the trackmarks. >If the above works could I also record from A LP2 md (My unit suports it) to >standard stereo and keep markers etc. Not sure but I'd assume that's the case as the LP players wouldn't/shouldn't do SCMS any differently. hth, -- Simon - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MD: Digital protection ???
Hi all I have been reading about this copy protection & would like to no if I wass to record a mix off the radio and put the track markers in etc could I then copy ot to another MD digitally and keep the markers like when you record from a cd? I know I can't make copys from the copy. If the above works could I also record from A LP2 md (My unit suports it) to standard stereo and keep markers etc. Thanks Keith - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
