What you ask is not legal.

Circumventing any copyright protection is technically illiegal.

For the sake of liability this thread should be locked.

I am not flaming you though bro, I am all about fair use and I think the current laws hurt the people that abide by them more than the pirates. I will do some research and hit you with a P.M.

Edit: Further research says that disabling macrovision (the copyright protection used on vhs) is not illiegal because the protection degrades the quality. However I have not confrimed this. Here is the link, feel free to delete it.
