recorded on long play
these are/were blank tapes with stuff recorded off the telly

Then it's odd that there's Macrovision on em.. If there was Macrovision on the original stream (I know Sky Movies uses it) then you wouldn't have been able to tape at all in the first place so it's odd if the tapes themselves or the recorder out on the Macrovision later..

Still, if you keep getting the message you'll need a stabalizer.

strange one, never had a problem copying off-air VHS to DVD.

never used long play though. That's hardly the reason is it?

Does your computer have a tv tuner card at all?

If so just plug your vcrs co-ax into it and tune it in and bingo!

Something like this: http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/80-4280

They're known as "stabilizers" but actually just remove the macrovision protection. The output of the VHS player goes into the input of this thing and then it outputs to the DVD recorder.
