Here's a real puzzler

[daddyd]

Ok I have finally gotten my video clip done. In a different thread I asked for help because my computer kept freezing up during the rendering. So I made a movie by sections and then put all the sections together and it created a video just fine. I was even able to put the video BACK onto my digital video camera and it plays beautifully.

Now the puzzling part. I take the camera and plug it into my home dvd recorder in order to burn directly to dvd rather than on the computer. If I attempt to transfer this way with the raw video footage I shot, it does just fine. The puzzling part is that some of the effects I used on my video show up as copyright protected when trying to burn onto the home dvd recorder. Nothing is copyrighted because it is all video and photos I took myself of the wedding. So what is causing certain graphics I made and effects or transitions to show up as protected which in turn will not record? My home recorder is a magnavox and when I called them, they say the software I used on my computer must have encoded my movie with copy protection. Why would VS do that and how? Is there a way around it?

Anybody have any ideas?

I've seen something similiar with other software. For some reason the Magnavox recorder 'thinks' the video has Macrovision when it doesn't. I've also seen this with analog capture devices where the video signal to the capture card was not a full 1VPP causing the capture card to think the signal had Macrovision. Of course, that wouldn't apply to firewire.

Can you connect the Magnavox to the computer? Some stand alone recorders have computer connectivity and some don't. If you can, try burning directly from the software.[/i]
