Hi there, has anybody tested the Elektor SCMS Stripper with DVDs ? Does it work ? In what way? DVDs don't use SCMS do they?

I don't know if they use SCMS, but they use something. You can not copy DVDs onto most VHS recorders these days because they're protected. Of course, there are programs that disable copy protection on DVD (email me privately and i'll sort you out if you're into that) and so if you have a DVD drive in computer with a board that has rca video and audio outputs, you can copy DVD onto VHS. If you're tired of the bad dvd selection at your rental store, and don't want to buy every movie you want to watch, I highly recommend netflix.com. They have some really great concerts too which you can of course record onto minidisc. I record some movies (those that have good sounds in them) onto minidisc on the MDLP setting and use them for samples. Movies likes 13th warrior or U-571 have some really great samples in them and they come clean off of DVD. There are also programs that can "rip" dvd tracks, and yet other programs that can convert that ripped file to AVI, or VCD-spec mpeg1 for burning VCDs (which most DVD players can play). I've learned and used them. They work, but they are *very* slow. mainly because they are built by hackers around codecs that were originally built for other programs such as adobe premier. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can not copy DVDs onto most VHS recorders these days because they're protected. That's macrovison man. A totally analogue copy protection scheme that's been around since the late 80s at least, not just on DVD, but VHS as well. It is a bunch of gobly gook that resided in the vertical blanking buffer on old VHS tapes that screws up the signal for copies, but not laserdisc (since that part of the signal is used for time info). In DVDs it is actually generated by the hardware (I assume) since it's possible to turn it on and off.

Read Derek Streeter's instructions on how to build the stripper - they are very good, and can be found on the MiniDisc Community web pages. I have built three SCMS strippers to date, and I have found that the potentiometers only really need adjusting for the co-ax connections - if you're only going to use the optical connections it should work without adjustments.

I'm sure I had to adjust the pots - and I certainly had to adjust them to get track marks passed through. I set it up using optical connections only. Maybe I was just unlucky.

Re: MD: Elektor SCMS Stripper. German help needed...
I've built one, it worked first time. Same here. You can adjust the potentiometers just by playing music though it and listening to the results - adjust them until music appears! You may then need to make slight correction to make sure track marks also make it through the SCMS sripper. I have never gotten it to pass the track marks however. I always thought it was just because of the design of the circuit itself. Is there a way to get it to pass the track marks? I set mine up by using the voltage levels as guides to the adjustments. -- James Budworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ# Tsuki_yomi - 684547 - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
