Magnasux ZV420MW8 Program Not Allowed to be Recorded BS

WTF!
I am attempting to record home movies on a VHS to DVD. Every time the small segment switches I get this damn error! How do I turn this off so I can finish recording my home movies without stopping everytime a segment changes to something else???
If I can't are there any REAL VHS to DVD combo recorders that will do the job?

    Thanks

    I have same problem with homemade video tapes. I even contacted Magnavox and they were no help other than to say that as tapes age, the color signal messes up and sets off the "Macrovision Copy Protection" within the machine and apparently there is no way to turn it off. You can try using something called Sima GODVD for getting around this problem. I've seen them on ebay for about 100 bucks or less. But I don't know about quality as I don't have one of these yet.

You need to go into the set up menu and select recording options. On the recording options menu, scroll down to dubbing options. On the dubbing options menu select either VCR to DVD or DVD to VCR.
Recording and Dubbing are not the exactly the same thing. You use the record buttons to record TV directly to VCR/DVD you use the dubbing buttons and set up to record DVD to VCR or VCR to DVD.
Hope this helps.

SOURCE: NO AUDIO ON MAGNAVOX ZV420MW8 RECORDING SECTION

Are you using AV cables (Red, Yellow, White).

One of your AV cable connections may loose or disconnected.

I hope this solution is helpful. Please remember to rate this solution.

SOURCE: When I try dubbing from VCR to DVD the machine

The DVD AGG (automatic gain control) is somehow being fooled into thinking the non-commercial tape has macrovision (copy protection). Is this a relatively inexpensive machine?

I have Magnavox DVD player/vcr DV225MG9, does it record from vhs onto dvds? And if not, what do I need to get so that I can copy all of these old vhs movies to dvds?

it won't record dvd's its only a dvd player. only the vcr records
if the vhs movies your trying to record are movies like star wars and stuff like that it's copy protected and no worth the trouble. if it's home movies or something you recorded from tv they might work. if you get a dvd recorder/vhs player.

Recorded pictures onto a DVD on my computer, they won't play on the ZV420mw8

I looked up your DVD player's model number online. It is not equiped to read picture files (.jpg, .bmp, etc.) You have to be carefull when you transfer pictures to a DVD on your computer. If you just burn them to the disc, most DVD players wont be able to read the information. Frequently you have to use a program like Microsoft Movie Maker to get them in the right format.

You may have to start over and use a DVD making program to make them a video and not just picture files.

Hope this helps! Don't forget to rate!

Dubbing from VCR to DVD+RW, get: "This program is not allowed to be recorded"

Its likely a copy guard which to my knowledge cannot be gotten around.
