[MacDV] Camcorder advise

[ShirleyK]

I would expect anything from Sony to honor Macrovision. They've been 
supporting it for years.

I'd like to back up some of my favorite videos too. I play them 
frequently and one boxed set cost around $70. I haven't tried to copy 
it yet, so I don't even know if it uses Macrovision. It has wonderful 
time-lapse scenes of plants growing.
