I recently bought a DVD recorder (Pioneer DVR 225-S) to see if I could record programs for time-shifting similar to my VCR. The copy protect seems to screw this up- even for the one personal copy allowed by copyright law. There are plenty of copy-protect removal programs for PC's. Does anyone know of a hardware solution that would remove the copy-protect signal between cable and the DVD recorder? Or is there a way to feed it through my computer & back out to the recorder without going the the time-comsuming process of writing to the hard disk. The computer editing facilities seem much more cumbersome than the DVD recorder.(I like to edit out commercials & then take the disks along for playback on trips etc.)
