  • Do video clarifiers really work?

    Has anyone tried one of those cheap video clarifier units that claim to filter out copy protection?

    Do they work?

    Would be nice to know, no?

    I got a Sima Color Corrector with my new VCR for use in capturing some of my VHS videos to .mpg for
    more convenient viewing. It makes the contrast worse - washes out most grays, can't adjust.
    I mostly run with it off. Had to turn it on for
    the first few seconds of one tape because PC-VCR wouldn't start recording without it.

    Oddly, I have one VHS tape with a big "MACROVISION PROTECTED!" sticker on it, and was able to capture
    with PC-VCR without the corrector on (running from the S-Video on the VCR). I haven't applied any
    Macrovision hacks to my drivers.

    Is it true that these anti-macrovision devices are going to be illegal in the USA after this year?
