Comment Anyone remember VHS MacroVision? (Score 1) 182
There's a cute little program out there called Snapz Pro. I've been using that to transcode some of my old RealPlayer files to another format, (QuickTime in this case) What I like about the probram is the fact that I can record anything, still images, movies, or just audio.
Thinking about this even more, if you had a video camcorder lying around you could use that to record the video footage. You just need to connect the ling in on the camcorder with the line out or speaker out of the computer.
I don't see anything wrong with making a copy of something for your personal archives, as long as you aren't going to be reselling the content.
Like what most people are saying, once the contents has been made available, it can be copied one way or another.
