Copy protection error on home movie VHS to DVD?

Hi all-

Hoping someone here has some suggestions on how to get around a strange copy protection error. I have read a lot of threads on these forums about getting around copy protection on commercial recordings, but haven't seen anything about a deck returning a copy protection error on a home movie.

I have a Panasonic DMR-ES10 standalone deck to which I have connected my Sony VCR. I've been transferring home movies that I shot with my camcorder over the years, and dozens have transferred with no problem. However, one particular video transfers the first 8 minutes, then stops recording with a copy protection error. I've tried several times, and it stops in the same place each time. This is the only video that gives me an error.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get around the copy protection error on a video that isn't copy protected in the first place?

Are you using the same disc every time? Check and see if Panasonic has a firmware update, or try a different input.

Hi David-

No, I used a fresh disc each attempt. Panasonic was wholly unhelpful, and a search of their updates showed nothing for my model.

Thanks for your response, though...
