New member Username: NysoftwaremanNEW YORK, NY USA Post Number: 6 Registered: Jun-04 | Why send away to Europe for the DVD RED. The SIMA Go DVD is available here in the USA. Either online or in most Audio /Video stores. The SIMA GO DVD has 4 Selectable Enhancement modes. It also looks nicer too compared to that stupid red balloon thing they call DVD RED PRO! I use it, It works fine! If you are into video edting and have both a DVD player and a VHS VCR Recorder hooked up to your DVD Recorder. Then the SIMA SCC-2 is the best bet! |

New member Username: NysoftwaremanNEW YORK, NEW YORK USA Post Number: 7 Registered: Jun-04 | The DVD RED Pro Requires a $12.00 Adaptor for Super VHS. The SIMA Go DVD Does NOT Require any S-VHS Adaptor. The SIMA is available here in the USA.

Bronze Member Username: AndyyanovPost Number: 12 Registered: May-04 | Hi! I am sorry for disturbing but... Was at Dimax company site now( http://www.dimax.com.ua ) and counted :-) So device with all functions that people need and with S-Video adapter on 30% chipper then device you advertised here. Please be careful. Andy. |
|
New member Username: NysoftwaremanNEW YORK, NEW YORK USA Post Number: 8 Registered: Jun-04 | The SIMA GO DVD is $80.00 (Do a Web search for best price) But it is really about much more than the price difference! First of all, the SIMA has FOUR Enhancement Modes The DVD Red Pro has none ! You dont have to add the stupid adaptor for s-video. The SIMA has a full One Year USA warranty. and a 800# for Free Tech Support. If you live in the USA and order the SIMA from any reputable dealer you will have it within one week. Or go to BEST BUY , pick it up, and have them meet the best price you find. |

Is it possible to use for the dvd the s video cable and then change the input for the vcr by using the composite video cable?This way i would not have to change the s video between the dvd and vhs and wouls save me the expense of getting the scc 2 and making additional room for it in my system.Any advice would be appreciated thank you Stew |

New member Username: JinnMassillon, Oh US Post Number: 1 Registered: Oct-04 | I can build my own computer and swap the engine in my jeep, but,,,, I don't know the first thing about dvd/vcr recording. this is where you guys come in. If you wouldn't mind explaining a few things for me. such as copy protection, I have read prior posting and realize I need to purchase the DVD RED PRO for my dvr. is that all I need to convert my vhs library? and now stoopid question i need answered, or verified. I am trying to figure out recording speeds (HQ,SQ,LQ,EQ) I understand the quality part i think but,,, just to be sure, can i record a 164 min vhs tape onto a 4.7gb dvd disk (120 min) on the LQ setting and it will fit in full? " i am explaing this to myself here so you can verify that i am right or wrong." don't be offended" How much of a difference will the picture and audio quality be? I don't expect much i am recording from vhs for convienance not picture quality. Also; where do you guys get a good deal on DVD-R's or +R's and what is the advantage or disadvantage to either? alright enough for now. thanks Jinn |

Silver Member Username: SamijubalPost Number: 313 Registered: Jul-04 | It's LP not LQ, and yes it will fit. If you get something with bitsetting like the Pioneer or JVC then you can get the best possible recording per available disc space. The videotapes will look considerably better on DVD. I get my Prodisc DVD-Rs from Rima.com for about 36 cents apiece when bought 100 at a time. +R or -R would depend on the recorder. The better brands all use -R. |

New member Username: Charlie_xEngland Post Number: 1 Registered: Oct-04 | Hi I have a DVD Red Pro from Dimax. Initially I experienced a problem some others have had - copy was in black and white (not colour) but with faint horizontal "rainbow" colour bands across the screen. I linked my VHS player through the Red Pro to the TV and recorded onto DVD from the TV channel playing the VHS. This works fine and the results are great. Why doing this should make any difference puzzles me - but why worry if it works? Charlie |

New member Username: NkawtgPost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-04 | Hi, Hope someone can help. I'm looking at buying a DVD recorder and VCR combo. Does anyone know if I will be able to record my VHS tapes to DVD without any loss of quality? I see all the discussion about extra components to buy, but they wouldn't work with a combo unit. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks |
|
Silver Member Username: SamijubalPost Number: 487 Registered: Jul-04 | The tapes will look better on DVD. If using a combo you won't be able to copy any protected tapes. Combos are cheap units, buy seperate if possible, better quality. |
|
New member Username: NkawtgPost Number: 2 Registered: Nov-04 | David, Thanks for the info, don't think I'll go with the combo unit since I need to copy all my VHS tapes to DVD. Thanks again |

|
Anonymous | I did a little research on both products and I found the SIMA GO DVD was $130 at Best Buy. The $50 version, I was informed would not shut the copyright off, but was for other stabilization issues, Whereas the Red Pro costs $47.99 + shipping for a total of $62 and comes with both cables and will turn the copyright off. The salesman at Best Buy also told me the SIMA does not work on all DVDs for turning off the copyright. |

New member Username: Kyfan32Post Number: 1 Registered: Dec-04 | I want to copy Disney VHS tapes to DVD. Will this red box remove the Disney copyright so it may be done? |
|
Unregistered guest | what if any is the difference between a red pro and a sima stabilizer? do you have to disconnect to just watch cable? i get it that you need one or the other to cpy vhs to dvd or reverse, but what's the difference between them. also can one or the other be used with a rf mod. connected to a tv-rf-dvr-vcr-cablebox? |
|
Anonymous | I tried the SIMA, it cost $129.99, and I had to buy 2 RCA Cables to go with it. It did not work. My VCR was still giving me the screen that says "copyright protected". I had it hooked up exactly as the diagram showed. This product does not remove copyright locks and it costs double what the red pro does. I was in a hurry and did not want to wait for the Red Pro to be mailed to me. When I e-mailed and asked the tech people at Red Pro, they did tell me that Red Pro would solve the problem of the copyright lock on my VCR. |
|
New member Username: MgardnerGrand Blanc, MI USA Post Number: 2 Registered: Dec-04 | Look at some of the electronic parts speciality store online, (Parts Express and All Electronics). They sometimes have units that remove the copyguard that are relatively inexpensive. I have purchased some for work to us in a 20-foot video display and they work great. They only work for NTSC signals. Happy copying! |

New member Username: JonnydaggettPost Number: 2 Registered: Dec-04 | I have used my DVD Red Pro several times with my Sharp DVD recorder, but it doesn't work with all DVDs. What's the deal? I've been successful with DVDs like Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Collateral, Training Day, and Walking Tall. But it will not let me copy DVDs such as First Blood, Reservoir Dogs, Heat, Man on Fire, and others. I thought I was doing something differently each time, but I've triple checked everything. Any help? Thanks. |

Pat Ridge Unregistered guest | I prefer to buy products from companies that do not market in broken english. I ordered the Sima unit. If it works the way you all say it does, I will be happy. You see, if the advertising web page is hard to read, imagine how crummy the owners manual would be. |

New member Username: BluedogPost Number: 1 Registered: Jan-05 | Just wanted to get a message in here since this forum and a couple other forums where I'll be repeating this complaint is where I first read about this DVD Red Pro product and decided to give it a try. I'm trying to record several old and long out of print VHS videos to DVD, and running into copy protection issues that shut down my DVD Recorder. After purchasing the FULL set up of this DVD Red Pro, plus an S-Video adapter because my VCR is S-Video, I hooked everything up and found that my DVD Recorder would finally record copy protected tapes, but that the picture recorded with a pulsing strobe like picture (bright, not bright, bright, not bright, really fast), which renders the picture virtually unwatchable. I tried numerous hook-up variations, with no success and the same picture problem. I contacted DIMAX customer service to see if there was anything they could suggest. No response. I waited two weeks and tried e-mailing again. And again, no response. So I went back to PayPal (DIMAX's only form of online payment) and requested refunds. PayPal will not refund money for "quality of merchandise" complaints. So I essentially lost every penny I sent to these crooks. $92.46 for the "Full" package, and $11.90 more for the S-Video hook-up. BUYER BEWARE!!! |

Unregistered guest | I just purchased the Sima CT-2.... I am recording my VHS movie library onto my DVD recorder... So far out of 10 VHS commercial vHS tapes only half will record. It only disables the write protect on about half. Any idea what may be causing that?Anything I can try? Is it assumed that if it works at all it should work on all? Thank you. |

Michelle Blu Unregistered guest | I just bought a cheap digital vidio stabilizer (about $30) on ebay to copy dvd to dvd. I'm finding it works on some dvd's and not others, and it doesn't matter if it's a newly released dvd or an older title, it may work or it may not. Does anyone have any ideas to make it work all the time? Also i tried the computer copy thing and that didn't work because my computer has some kind of an encryption protection that i can't get pass. Any idea's or suggestions would be helpful. Thank you, Michelle |

Unregistered guest | I just (last week) bought the top of range Sony DVD HD recorder since I have over 200 old (1980-1995) VHS tapes to archive that are not available on DVD. Up to now I have tried 10 tapes and although a perfectly good picture is seen through the DVD recorder all come up with cannot record warning when any attempt to record is tried. To be sure I checked the same thing does happen with a newish 2003 macrovision protected tape but not on home recorded tapes. So I cannot archive anything and the SONY equipment seems useless for VHS archiving. These tapes are pre-macrovision so I would like to know if anyone has any idea why it does not work? A colleague who has a old SONY recorder without HD has tried a couple of the tapes and has no problem. My worry is that SONY have incorporated something into there latest models that can detect a commercial tape independent of protection - if so that is really rotten! |
|
Anonymous | FYI I talked to Best Buy tonight regarding the Sima Video Enhancers. They told me there is talk of pulling them off shelves...Get em while you can...... |
|
Unregistered guest | OK so you all got the Macrovision sorted. What about the Copywrite Protection that keeps shutting down my DVD Recorder? |
|
BellaMia Unregistered guest | Does anyone know if you can actually use the SIma GODVD with a VCR/DVD recorder combo? I have the combo and Best Buy tol me it would work, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to hook it up! |

T.Timmerman Unregistered guest | Hasn't Macrovision been around since the '70s? I have the movie Patton and it has copy protection on it. I did become successful in duping it with a Sony vcr circa 1983. I would like to copy my purchased vhs movies but most of them are protected. Previous posts seem to suggest that converting to dvd is out of the question. Too bad. |

New member Username: QuaymanManchesterGreat Britain Post Number: 1 Registered: May-05 | Hi gentlemen, after reading all the messages about which product to use (most enjoyable) I have opted and sent for DVD Red Pro Plus. I like the look of it and if it does the job for me I will be most satisfied. Analizing the messages I'm in no doubt that DVD Red comes out on top. No I'm not an employer of DVD Red, just an ordinary silver surfer living a quite life here in the UK. It just so happened that as I have a large amount of videos that I'm coppying to DVD and a few will not copy as they are copywright protected. Incidently all of these films are what I recorded off SKY satalite which I don't have any more. As the large amount of videos I have take up too much space hence the reason for putting them on DVD. Most of the films would copy but I have up to now 6 that will not. So in desperation I surfed the net and came upon this great site. Am well pleased I did. Anyhow thanks to all for letting me have my pennies worth...bye...wizo |

Gold Member Username: SamijubalPost Number: 1147 Registered: Jul-04 | Does the Sima use a battery? If so replace it. |
|
Unregistered guest | No battery...plugs into wall. I am thinking that it might be the Emerson DVD Recorder because I have been researching and have found some of the same complaints that I am having with mine. Strange to start happening after so much use though...can't figure it out...should probably switch to a better machine...but cannot afford it. Another thing that really stinks as well is that my Emerson can ONLY use 4X discs...I even tried discs that were 1-4X...no good...wouldn't work. Tried 8X discs...no good...wouldn't work. ONLY 4X discs.......and they're getting harder and harder to find. Thanks for the attempted help Mr. Massey...I appreciate it. Any other suggestions are welcome. |
|
Gold Member Username: SamijubalPost Number: 1154 Registered: Jul-04 | As far as the discs, if you look here in this forum you will find a number to call for a firmware update disc that will allow you to use 8x discs. https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-video/120029.html I don't know about the stabilizer not working. |

Strat Unregistered guest | Using a DVD/VCR combo recorder, couldn't you just connect a stabilizer or a Red Pro between the VCR outputs on the back and the DVD inputs on the back? Also, aren't the newer DVD/VCR combo recorders better quality? The specs look about the same as a regular DVD recorder. |

I also checked the prices for Sima CT2 GoDVD. Bestbuy(or worstbuy as I call it) is asking for $129; pricegrubber.com for $149 but video guys have it for only $80. Is there anything that I should know about this??? thanks. |

Unregistered guest | Hi, everyboy. Sorry if I am disturbing but I could not find the answer to the Mr. SpringerSpaniel's idea about connecting the DVD recorder in a jack video and audio OUT of a television and keeping the jacks IN of the same TV connected to the VCR playing the copy protected VCR tape. |

dr ese callum Unregistered guest | Dear Sirs Malaria kills at least 3000 children a day and up to 6000 people a day in Africa and Asia. Passing 50 to 100 microamperes of simple d.c. electrical current through infected blood disables the pathogens and stops it reproducing it was discovered in 1992. It also works on a broad range of other viruses/bacteria including Hep-A,B,C and also quite importantly for Malaria.You may know malaria is becoming increasingly drug resistant. See trial study for Malaria at the end below. BLOOD ELECTRIFICATION. Research conducted at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, 1300 Morris Park Ave., Bronx, N.Y.10461 in New York SIMPLE SUMMARY OF METHOD The current of 0.0003 to 0.001 amps is passed through electrodes of size 0.5 cm by 2 cm located over wrist artery pulse points on each wrist or same wrist. The current direction may be reversed every 3 or 4 minutes. PRACTICAL DETAILED APPLICATION. Remember it is simple electrical current nothing else that disable the virii/pathogens.In the case of the virii the electrical current stops it reproducing by altering the outer protein layer of the pathogen and the bodys immune system removes the remaining viruses. The level of the current is very low, 0.025 amps is required to electrocute a person. These devices only use 0.0003 amps to 0.001 amps maximum.This is much less than a Tens device. 1 microampere is 0.000001 amps. The practical device to neutralise Malaria inside the body consists of two 0.5cm by 2cm long electrodes wrapped in wet cotton or alternatively conductive foam attached to wrist pulse points or other major artery points and then a direct current of 300 microamperes to 1000 microamperes is passed through the electrodes and then through the blood. (0.3 Milliamps to 1 Milliamps MAX to allow for losses through the skin. 1 milliamp=0.001 amps) The current maybe adjusted to suit the condition or individuals. These electrodes are simply taped to the wrist artery or other pulse points where large volumes of blood are flowing. It is important to use these particular electrode dimensions as the current density must be maintained at 4 to 9 microamperes per square millimetre of electrode. The higher currents near 1 milliamp produce more rapid results. Every 5 minutes the current direction is reversed to prevent possible electrolysis.The voltage required to drive this current is from 20 to 40 volts max depending on skin resistance. Four 9 volt batteries in series would be sufficent.In poorer countries three 12 volt car batteries can be used in series. Mains adapters can also be used. Application times vary from 20 minutes to up to an hour or more daily depending on condition. BLOOD ELECTRIFICATION RESULTS. At Beck-n-Stuff and Microelectricitygermkiller a number of private individuals have tried it for a number of viral/bacterial conditions including , Malaria, Cfs, lymphomas and other Cancers with excellent results backed up by blood tests have submitted reports. The devices are very easy to make yourself and instructions are included at the links below. Also remember many cancers are caused by virii, bacteria and fungi and parasites as well as genetic and environmental reasons. http://www.papimi.gr/safe-hiv/AppendixE.htm <---full research paper http://www.excel.net/~jaguar/experiments.html <---abbreviated paper http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/microelectricitygermkiller/ <----how to make devices yourself. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Beck-n-stuff/ <---user groups of electromed More general information can be found by typing 'BLOOD ELECTRIFICATION' or 'BECK PROTOCOL' in web browser. ......recently concluded a small trial we conducted in conjunction with a medical doctor in Nigeria. ....we relie on doctors who have been exposed to the BECK Protocol to approach us about conducting a study. MALARIA A Medical Doctor in Nigeria contacted us in 2001 asking if the blood electrification aspect of the BECK Protocol was effective against Malaria. We told him we didn't know but it could be. We sent him a unit to try on one person who was willing to try it and whose life would not be put into danger by trying it. About two months later we heard back from him--the units had been effective with malaria in 5 out of 6 people. Then we began the long journey (almost eighteen months) of putting together a proper small trial study. The Nigerian government gave us a letter of support. Unfortunately due to cultural differences everything took a lot longer to accomplish. We learned much about patience. In the end, we decided to stop the study prematurely (we were originally hoping to have 60 people included in the trial). When we stopped the trial, 37 people had been enrolled. Stopping prematurely meant that several of them had not finished the protocol or the testing. Another limitation was the fact once people tested negative for malaria, they no longer returned to complete testing and lab work (they were well so why keep returning to the doctor). Of the 37 people, 12 were women and 25 were men. The age range was from 18 to 38. Subjects were either asymptomatic or symptomatic with malaria. We were unable to test the protocol on individual's with resistant malaria cases. The type of malaria was P. Falciparum, known to be the worst strain. Blood Electrification was administered daily for one hour until lab work showed negative for malaria. Each person was to be tested for malaria on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28. Only 8 people completed all the testing. Of these 7 tested negative for malaria and 1 still tested for malaria. 14 people completed the blood electrification and tested negative, but they did not complete all of the lab work subsequent to testing negative. 11 people didn't finish the protocol due to the study being stopped. Of these 11, all of their malaria loads were reduced, but not negative. 3 people's records weren't complete so we cannot use the details. 1 person was removed from the study before beginning because they also had typhoid and due to the parameters of the study they could not be included with the study. An important note is that the majority of people testing negative showed negative between day 3 and day 7 testing. Also, virtually everyone had a significant reduction or elimination of symptoms on day 3. This study is by no means conclusive, however we feel it has given us some good information as to the possible effectiveness of blood electrification as per Bob Beck with malaria. We are very much interested in continuing the research in this area, and are doing our best at finding funds that may be available to us now that we have an indication of the effectiveness. We have other research projects that are in the beginning administrative stages. Once completed we will release the information. DONATING BLOOD ELECTRIFICATION DEVICES. SOTA has also been donating units to a few organizations in Africa. One such group operates out of remote villages in South Africa. They have approximately 90 health care workers that go out into the villages, trying to help people. SOTA sent them several units to use in the villages. We have not had a lot of feedback from them...you can imagine how difficult communication is between third world conditions in these villages and our ultra-modern society. However the feedback we get always touches our hearts. We are planning on sending a unit for each of their health care workers so that they will be able to help more individiuals. We have recently designed a unit for those in economically poor countries so they can afford what we consider the most important part of the BECK Protocol--blood electrification. We have been told that people in the villages line up to use the units. The blood electrification units have to be shared and so go on to the next worker in another village. Unfortunately this means the treatment gets stopped prematurely in each village. For this reason we are going to send one unit per heatlh care worker. Its vital to remember that malaria kills more people than news fashionable diseases like Aids or Sars. These devices are very simple to make and very low cost.Many people can be treated at the same time.No complicated drugs with side effects are involved.I urge you to investigate and pursue this and to conduct your own experiments to satisfy yourself. Perhaps support could be invited from Bill Gates or Richard Branson and other media celebrities. Many people in this forum will have contacts in Microsoft and maybe with Bill Gates and could advise him to focus on this ultra low cost non drug based method.Remember its broad spectrum and not confined to Malaria. I urge the people reading this to study this and save the information or webpage and pass it on to young bright biophysics student groups for further study if they cant do anything themselves. You should get a student group or a close associate to do the preliminary experiments/trials and then proceed full steam ahead. Full instructions on how to make the simple low cost blood electrification devices are included in the above urls.Remember blood electrification can be applied to other conditions too as well as malaria. Some people state they feel much better after using blood electrification due to a lower virial load in the blood. I hope you will respond to this email and help the many people suffering and dying in Africa and Asia. The point of this information is for you to further study and implement the findings and start saving lives. Dr E. Callum |

Unregistered guest | Hello ALL VHS VCRs are made under a license from the JVC corporation. In 1995 or 1996 JVC entered into a business deal with the company that owns Macrovision. The deal states that JVC will REQUIRE all manufacturers of their VHS decks to install circuitry that WILL respond to the Macrovision signal and "scramble" the video making it harder to copy it. In return for this, Macrovison gives JVC a lot of money. The only company who routine snuck around this rule was the one who builds those Go dual deck VHS recorders. If you have a 1995 or earlier VCR you may have noticed that it usually did a better job of copying tapes that the newer decks do. The new circuitry is the reason for this. In any case, get out those old decks and give them a good cleaning and they will generally do a better job of copying for you...though you will still need a copy-stabilizer for SOME tapes (though not as often). I've seen newer VCRs that wouldn't even copy a home recording; Sony products are especially bad about this. I have an old RCA VCR from 1994 and it rarely needs my Sigma box. And ALWAYS use your BEST video connector for the video-to-video line...old or cheap ones can screw up a signal all by themselves. Plain old RCA patch cords will do for the audio side. Of course a Sigma or similar video-stabilizer will allow copying of those VHS tapes on most VCRs. If I had to rate VCRs from really bad to really good it would definitely be "Sony worse an Go Video best" at least when it comes to copying VHS. Seeya Chico |
