morning,
OK I'm nearly there with my set up in the living room on achieving all abilities of recording and listening to sound....lol....but i have one last request.
I forgot how macro vision worked? i have been trying for ages to figure out how to get around it as i would love to copy some 360 footage for some combo/video making i want to do, i'd also like to have the ability to record straight to a hard drive that could be accessible on my network.
Been looking at the media centers the stuff that have space for a hard drives and then you can record straight to it.
found a one yesterday that had a Ethernet cable on it and a record in.
This seemed pretty neat but when i got it home the bloody power cable was missing so i took it back to the shop for a refund and then went to currys, and dick!sons to be looked at bewilderingly by the staff when i was asking them what i wanted and they kept showing me media centers that were actually PC's in there hundreds.
So i've bought an AV control panel, was only 15 quid and that's a bargain, and have managed to plug all my equipment into it and the plan is now to use the output into a media center so i can record from all the equipment that i have plugged in, and of course then watch it back on the TV or edit it etc on the network where it's saved.
how ever this is the thing.
I bought a reconditioned VHS/DVD/hard drive recorder yes reconditioned, slaps self in face with anvil! ( remind me never to buy reconditioned stuff again).......and it's not only got copy protection on it, it's not region free and now the DVD writer/VHS don't work so what I'm wanting to know is;
Using a media center to hard drive recorder will this just not even bother with macrovision and allow me to record from any source i want (added bonus this is on the network)
What about buying a DVD recorder and using that then i could burn any thing i've recorded onto DVD/rw or do any recorders come with network interface and will these have macro copy protection on them.
Thanks.
