Video Tools 1.55, macrovision & Sergio Valentino

[morane]

Hi,

I saw the very good job done by Sergio Valentino, concerning the macrovision patch for the video tool under Win2000.
Is it possible to make a macrovision patch for the VideoTool 1.55.043 (french & english version) under Win98 ?

If you don't have time to do that Sergio, could you tell us how to do the patching work ?
Thanks

In an old thread you can find how to remove Macrovision.. (the author is cods )


Change bold values in the following files with a hex editor....

RRAPI.DLL
---------
00 00 85 C0 75 13 83 7D 94 00 74
becomes
00 00 85 C0 EB 13 83 7D 94 00 74

VCAP16.DLL
----------
83 7E EE 00 75 06 83 7E F0
becomes
83 7E EE 00 90 90 83 7E F0


A freeware Hex editor is XVI32 that you can download here: http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delp...32.htm#download . It allows to search Hex strings and so is easy to find the value that you have to change..

This "patch" works only with Win9x/Me Videotools

Hi,
At first I connect a DVDplayer on my computer and when I tryed to reccord the video with PC-VCR, I had the message "Copy protection detected, you can't reccord a video from this source"

So with an hexagonal editor I changed the value indicated. I did that on the RRAPI.DLL and VCAP16.DLL coming from the Video Tools 1.55 (french) already patched to activate the YUV function.
I replace the original file by the patched one.

I tryed again reccording a DVD with the PC-VCR soft and it WORK !!!!

Thanks a lot for the solution.
