I am trying to rip the episodes from my Futurama Season 1

DVD's on to my computer. What I am trying to do is rip them on

my computer and then put all the episodes in order on a VHS

tape. The problem I have is that I am not sure if my problem

is with my DVD or with my computer. But every time I play the

Futurama episodes on my player the picture seems to slow down

a bit on certain scenes. It gets a bit blurry. I have plenty

of DVD's and they all play fine except this one. I have an HP

Laptop, 700mhz, and the Futurama DVD's are region 2, but my

laptop is originally set for the U.S. region. Could it be that

it has to do with the region? Also if anyone owns the Futurama

Season 1 DVD's, US region, do they play good on your

computers? Also what format or procedure would you suggest for

me to get all these episodes on a VHS tape? I just hate that

every time one episode ends it goes back to the menu. I just

want all the episodes to play nonstop. Same beef I have with

the Simpsons series. Thanks for any help.

:ph34r: Why would you use your computer to copy the episodes to a vhs tape??? Why don't you connect your dvd-player to your videorecorder and record all the episodes???

yeah, would be easier that way. However, maybe he only has a dvd-player on his laptop?

macrovision prevents that, can just hook up a dvd to a vcr and hit play & record
he ran it throu a really old vcr, talking top mount very old pre-dvd 10years plus yard sell type
then it wouldn't have the chip that prevents direct copying, the old vcr doesn't have to even play/record, just pass the video source throu it theb to a good vcr or even svhs
i did this years back befor i got a copy pretection killer box think it was like 40 bucks

:ph34r: Yeah oke, that could be a posibility. I haven't thought about that one, because the standalone dvd-players are so cheap these days, I thought he would own one. But then again, why would he rip the dvd's to his harddrive? Just connect your computer to your vcr, play the dvd's and record them that way....

:ph34r: Well, I use a copy protection killer box also to copy dvd's to vhs, but there are some dvd's that I can copy directly without the box. He just would have to try to know if he can copy the dvd without the box. :ph34r:

I think when i was cheap i tried to copy DVD to VHS using my VCR. it worked fine but they picture would fade from light to dark. but only a few DVD's did that i found one that would copy and that was Rush Hour 1.

I have a question for ya. Lets Say i have a movie on VHS and i was to put it on my Computer. what kind of hardware would i need. I know on Apple computer they got hookups so u can hook up ur VideoCamera to your computer. i would like to start putting movies on here but i dont know what i would need to do so if you do let me know..

( i am just curious so please dont get smart with me)
