Answer»

I am running xp pro, 2.13 dual core, 8500 gt video, 3.25 ram, intel mb 975x
I need help on this ! I installed giga ware 25-1141 VHS to dvd video converter soft ware .I am using this to monitor my surveilance camera (swan wireless security camera) it seems to record for about one hour then it gives an error notice or it will say that it will not record because of copy right problems Does anyone have a clue for this ? I CHECKED the manual to no avail on info with this problem all answers are appreciated ,ThanksWhat does the error notice say / have you checked the manufacturers website for FAQ or support?

Alan <><  It's no error, it's an annoying copyright protection feature on that software 'vhs to dvd video converter' you are using. After an hour it stops to prevent people copying movies, etc. Without major hacking and probably breaking the law you will probably have to just find different software that doesn't do it.Is there any soft ware out there that will legally do this ? It sounds more like a hardware problem with the converter than a software issue, or did it come with software you loaded on your PC?  There are other converters that I've never heard of a time out problem.

Source ? ?Source = Google  ...

I can't find the original source I got it from again (honestly I can't be bothered just to prove myself to you morons) but here's some reviews about it, good hardware but crappy problemed software with a copyright protection feature:

People who use uncrippled shareware programs extensively and don't pay a cent are annoying as well. In fact, that's why authors decided they had to crippled the shareware versions with more then a nag screen. And then people basically complain that they can't have free cake.

Source ? ?

I was equally skeptical and supposed it may have been indicating that the DVD was copy protected. However, since it copies an entire hour first, it might be an artificial limitation of the "trial" version of the software being used.

This is of course pure supposition. (yes, the fact that "supposition" is only three letters away from being "suppository" disturbs me as well.) Quote

*cough* 

Just a few of the quotes given from that site...

Quote
Several minutes into recording a home video tape ONTO my pc, an error message popped up saying that copying of copyrighted material is prohibited, and the recording stopped. Clearly, my home video has no copyright!


Quote
"I kept getting messages that I'm trying to record copy-written material but these are home movies taken from a camcorder. Got this message 15 times per vhs tape. That in of itself is a deal breaker. "

The converter does the job of converting your tapes to your hard drive, but the software that comes with the converter (Arcsoft Showbiz) is bad. Every so many minutes, an error message comes up saying that recording copyrighted material is prohibited, and the recording stops

I have over 450000 mb of free disk space but can only record on average 10 mb of video. this is a home video so there is NO anti piracy involved..in fact the video is from the mid 80's .

Quote
Plug in the hardware and IMMEDIATELY go find another software to use. The software is totally non-functional.

I try help users and most of the mods on this forum or Allan end up in a debate just trying to prove me wrong... every ... single... time...Any surveilance software to use on my computer to record without any shut down, I am trying to CATCH a thief, I need to have continuous recording can anyone suggest which software or program
