[net.video] Beta and copyguard

slg@ukma.UUCP (Sean Gilley) (03/28/85)

     I've tried copying from a VHS copyguarded tape to Beta.
One  time  I  looked  at the output I was receiving and quit
before going any farther (I was getting a rolling copy)  and
the  other  time  I continued since I seemed to be getting a
decent signal most of the time.

     In both cases my Beta unit was recording, even  if  the
output  signal was rolling.  I don't know if this is because
my Sanyo recorder was one  of  the  lower  priced  units  or
what...  if  I understand what people are saying I shouldn't
have gotten anything at all when I tried to record  a  copy-
guarded tape.

     As for copying to a Beta,  when I did this a while back
most of the tapes I tried to copy were not copyguarded.
