I think the region 4 copies come with macrovision:(
We attempted to tape a copy from DVD to VHS today so the kids can watch Harry Potter when the laptop disappears back to work (havent burnt pesos on a general DVD player yet, when there is one built right into the iBook)
Didnt work.
Havent tried recording on this video in quite some time, so its possible that it just doesnt work properly anymore, but... I dont think so - I think the DVD includes Macrovision.
nb. the recorder dates from 87-88 - anyone know when macrovision started appearing on video machines, anyway?
