Does Macrovision analog copy protection interfere with video capture?

Early reports indicate NO. The Buz is able to preview and capture video signals that have been protected with Macrovision — including the latest version 7.0 used on DVD movies. See the DVD FAQ for details on Macrovision protection. (Of course, the content is still protected by Copyright, and should be handled accordingly.) If you have a video segment that Buz captures poorly (changing brightness, colored lines, bad sync, etc.) and you suspect it’s caused by Macrovision encoding, please email details.
