Sima GoDVD! vs Macrovision Copyguard!

In this video I test out the Sima GoDVD! CT-100 Video duplication enhancer with VHS and DVD sources recorded to a Panasonic DMR-ES15 DVD Recorder. I try doing direct dubs via composite video without the Sima and with the Sima and see if DVDs of copy protected content can be recorded on this device. I also investigate what the GoDVD! does to the video blanking interval (VBI) with content encoded with Macrovision, including Closed Captioning information.

I have an entire playlist dedicated to devices used for this purpose.
