. References: MacroVision was first introduced in Disney VHS Cassettes. If you ever tried copying Disney VHS Cassettes (illegal btw), you will get a very downgraded film quality with lots of flashes and color loss. I am not sure as to the actual mechanics of the MacroVision process but basically it alters the image signal so that it becomes impossible to record it on an analog VCR. The DVD Titles themselves can not be MacroVision encoded as MacroVision was designed for analog output. All DVD Decoder cards and some T.V.->Out cards have MacroVision enabled, the signal the card delivers is altered in real-time by the Decoder card causing distortions if you try to record the signal. Several cards can have their MacroVision code disabled, this requires altering the driver code. For more MacroVision information, visit the MacroVision FAQ.
