<BR>
Thank you Terry,<BR>
<BR>
I believe you have help me to solve the problem.<BR>
<BR>
I was only trying to use the DVD player with the TV Converter to test VLC software see if would stream and capture video. Because the people here that I work with want to incorporate the TV converter to a dedicate server and want to be able to get news and be able to capture the video of the broadcaster.<BR>
<BR>
But we wanted to test the vlc software and TV converter first before connecting to the network.<BR>
<BR>
Thank you very much for your help ..<BR>
<BR>
Now I need to find out how to go and try another way.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Happy new year<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>

<BR>
You can either:<BR>
<BR>
(a) (simplest) rip the DVD to your PC, extracting the .VOB files to the <BR>
PC’s HD, using a DVD Ripping Program and your PC’s DVD drive,<BR>
and thus demux them for manipulation<BR>
<BR>
Or (b) ( slightly expensive, but not hard) buy a “black box” that <BR>
Will get around the Macrovision, and then follow my setup <BR>
To insure you get a proper signal transfer. Most Black Boxes do not <BR>
Have FW out, only analog, thus the need for a card/box like the canopus<BR>
That will bring in the signal to the computer via a native port.<BR>
Your tv converter, if it has analog inputs and USB out, should work.<BR>
<BR>
Just google “ VHS black box” or “Analog stablelizer” or “De-Macrovision Box”.<BR>
Should run you around $30 to $75 US.<BR>

My set-up at home has DVDPlayer to Black Box then to Canopus ADVC-100 then to FW to Mac.<BR>
The Black Box is an Analog /Macrovision buster, and it works fine. Without it in the loop,<BR>
I get the green screen with Horizontal lines in the playback.<BR>

Hello guys,<BR>
