You could, but the macrovision on many dvd's would make a nice rainbow effect on the video tape for you.

Depends on the equipment you have. Some older or lucky VCR's don't respond to macrovision and there are boxes for removing it still floating around, depends on what youir making a dvd from too, if it's home made stuff shouldn't be a problem. A lot of recorders respond to the digital copy protection and will just say copy not permitted too so you wont know till you give it a try.

if you're taping "My Little Pony" again, it probably won't matter as there's lots of rainbows in that movie.

Otherwise, I'd not even bother trying it.

In that case I'd make a backup DVD first to remove Macrovision protection...
