Get it chipped to remove macrovision or get a video stabaliser/sync inserter to correct the output before it gets to the vcr.

I bought a lead that removes the macro-vision, mainly because I had a dvd player and a TV without a scart socket, but I do admit to attempting to copy dvd's with varying rates of success. The dvd that failed was a keith harris lookalike production and the one that work was an R18 title, I've yet to try with a vcd of American Pie 2.

Can't remember where but I think it cost ?20 ish, it's a scart type cable with a seperate power supply. The only help as to where is I probabaly got the website addy from a mates dvd mag.

you will need to get your player macro disabled first.then you will need if you want to tape the discs that come from the USA a transcoder this is to change the running speed from NTSC to PAL.take a trip down to your local newsagent and buy any of the dvd mags or HI-FI mags there's always ads in the back from good companys selling these.expect to pay any where from ?60 to ?800 its like anything you get what you pay for.
