Another solution - record the audio through the rca jacks and the
video by pointing camera at the screen. You get "clean" static audio
(ha ha) and clean, new video with static as the video content.
Capture device (tape or computer) thinks it's getting raw, new video.
LCD monitors work best - very sharp, no flicker, etc. And HDV or DV
are both superior to VHS or DVD, so there should be minimal
degradation compared to a TV screen. You get the bonus of adjusting
brightness / contrast / tint on the screen and any adjustments the
camera settings might add.
Ahem, this is also a way for the desperate to record copy-protected
DVD's and VHS, when one knows one has the right to do so legally. It
is not a reverse-engineering of the protective code, either, so it
avoids that legal booby-trap.
