Well, the original thread was about copying, so I didn't want to push
it.
But yes, a "video stabilizer" device did fix my problem with
*watching* my Macrovision-protected tapes via the SVIDEO input of my
projector.
In my experience Macrovision creates problems for any kind of hookup
that uses composite or SVIDEO cables. It was invented back when 99%
of people watched videotapes via an RF modulator output.
