No consumer DVD recorder records with Macrovision that I know of. They all
of course respond to Macrovision encoded DVD's when playing back on the
recorder. A lot of standard DVD players have hacks to disable the
Macrovision so you can record to VCR or another DVD recorder or DV camera,
but these work with varying degrees of success. Older or non recording
(broken) RCA VCR's (10-15 years ago, I don't know of any new VCR's) would
not see Macrovision and could be used as pass through devices to disable
Macrovision so you could record to another VCR.
