	Macrovision
		Macrovision is a nuisance to some people because it can interfere with other electronic equipment.
		It is the position of film and television studios that Macrovision is necessary to prevent piracy and that they are fully within their rights to add a block to someone exercising their fair use rights.
		It is also the position of these studios that one does not have any right to copy their own videos, and they have attempted to lead the courts to rule the same.

	Macrovision - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Macrovision is considered a nuisance to specialist users because it may interfere with other electronic equipment.
		Macrovision claims that 97% of all current DVD rippers will not be able to copy a DVD protected by RipGuard technology, however, it can be bypassed with the use of AnyDVD, DVDFab Decrypter, RipIt4Me, or, on Mac OS X systems, MacTheRipper 3.
		In June 2005, Macrovision sent a cease and desist letter to "Lightning UK!", the maker of DVD Decrypter, a program that allows users to backup their DVDs by bypassing CSS and Macrovision protection, which can also be used for piracy.

	Macrovision Demystified
		Although Macrovision video copy protection has existed for nearly 15 years, it wasn't until the recent acceptance of DVD in mainstream consumer markets that its existence was felt at all.
		Macrovision copy protection works by adding certain codes to these control lines that are interpreted by an Automatic Gain Control chip in a VCR to scramble the video signal if the video is being recorded.
		Some Macrovision signals resemble bad synchronization pulses (the signals that tell the television where the electron guns should be at what time), and some TVs confuse these signals with real synchronization pulses.

	DRM -> Techs -> Macrovision (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The CSS license requires macrovision on all DVD player outputs if enabled by a flag in the compressed video stream (the disc creator must pay too, to enable this flag), and also requires software DVD players only play if they can confirm their output is not being displayed through an unprotected video-out card.
		A simple macrovision remover can be built quite easily from parts and schematics from the internet (I have on my server) or bought, often labeled 'video restorers' or similar to avoid legal problems.
		Macrovision protection is also recognised by some capture cards (which display a "recording prohibited" warning) and most digital video recorders.

	What is Macrovision? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Macrovision is used to stop you connecting your DVD to your VCR and making copies of your DVD's.
		Macrovision is designed to make it hard to copy a DVD to either tape or PC using a video capture card.
		Macrovision exploits this fact and that is why it causes so much problems with VCR's, not only when you try to record something but also when you are just using your VCR as an input for your DVD player.

	DRM Watch: InterTrust Prevails in Patent Dispute with Macrovision
		The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ruled in favor of InterTrust last Monday in a patent interference proceeding between it and Macrovision, thereby maintaining the status quo in DRM patent primacy.
		An interference proceeding is an investigation of two patents with similar claims that were filed around the same time, on the basis that the differences in filing dates may have reflected administrative processes and therefore may not accurately represent which party actually invented first.
		Macrovision stresses that its patents on DRM are unchallenged in jurisdictions outside of the U.S., including Europe and Japan.

	What am I missing Macrovision? - Blog Maverick
		Macrovision keeps getting money because they were able to establish their protection as the 'standard' in the industry.
		As someone mentioned, Macrovision is licensed to change the signal coming out of DVD players (and Satellite receivers also, in soem cases) to "prevent the signal from being recorded".
		The only reason Macrovision keep sueing the providers of these "video enhancer" boxes is because they themselves hold patents on methods of stripping the macrovision disruption from the video stream...

	This is how to defeat TV-out Macrovision with all ATI cards! - DriverHeaven.net
		I will be testing out a macrovision remover on Thursday or Friday so I will post back with the results, but I see no reason for it not to work, since I will be removing the macrovision from the signal after it leaves the card but before it reaches the video...
		I think that must be a fluke...the hardcoded macrovision in the card doesn't care whether the source material is macrovision protected or not, it simply uses macrovision on everything that goes through the tv-out.
		I'm not saying that your perception of the macrovision is wrong, and i'm sure you know what you are talking about, but surely I can say that the macrovision kicks in on my system only when the software player tells it to kick in.
