His problem is going to be stripping the MV signal or finding a device that does not recognize it, ignores it. Pretty sure the Canopus will pass MV and most recording software will honor it.
Just occurred to me that the new VCR/DVD combo will have inputs for external sources, mine does, so if an older VCR can be found it may be possible to eliminate the duping stage.
The VCR/DVD combos are nice since hitting record controls the tape and disc so unattended duping is possible.
Willing to lend out one of my Canopus devices if wdfifteen wants to go that route.

Wow! This sounds great. I've done some research and these are the instructions I've found:
Canopus ADVC-110 Macrovision Bypass for DVD Backup
1. advc switch settings: 1 thru 4 Off, 5 On, 6 Off
2. Connect advc-110 to computer firewire port.
3. Color bar appears on capture software's viewing window (any editing software).
4. Press Input Select until color bar blinks, it will blink.
5. Press Input Select again so that Analog input light is ON.
5. Attach input cable from output of vcr (DVD player, or analog camcorder).
6. Click on software record button and press vcr play button
That's all you need to do to make backups. Do not make illegal copies of DVD's.. this is for backup only.
Since you have one of these, does this sound right to you? If so, then yes I'll take you up on your offer. I'll be happy to pay shipping both ways and of course replace it if something happens to it. Sending PM.
