Grex Opens Analogue Protection Hole to copy VHS-VHS, VHS-DVD, DVD-VHS, DVD-DVD

Grex removes all kinds of video protections including Macrovision Level I, Macrovision Level II ( Color stripe x 2 ), Macrovision Level III ( Color stripe x 4 ), CGMS, CGMS-A, Digital Broadcasting Flags. This way Grex opens you so called Analogue Protection Hole and let you copy and transfer any protected video content.

Grex will let you record protected TV channels from SAT/Cable Receiver, STB, PVR, DVR, TiVo

Entertainment and Broadcasting ( Cable and Satellite ) companies protect some commercial TV channels to prevent permanent digital recording of these channels. In other words you may not be able to record protected TV channels with DVD/HDD recorder connected to SetTopBox/Receiver/PVR/DVR. It is achieved by transmitting Digital Broadcast Protection Flags that are recognized by modern DVD Recorders. Grex will fully remove Digital Broadcast Protection Flags and will let you record any protected TV channels.For the reference please take a look at the list of the most popular broadcasting companies and protected TV channels that the Grex was successfully tested on.

Grex Preserves Closed Caption Information

All Dimax products including Grex are the only products in the market what do not remove Closed Caption Information from the protected Video Signal. Everyone who requires Closed Caption information and especially people with hearing problems can be sure that Closed Caption data will be fully preserved on the Video Signal passing by Grex.

General Description

New technologies not only make our life more comfortable and saturated but they also bring us a number of irritating limitations that in worst case can even take over advantages of the same technology. Modern digital and analog video recording against Macrovision Copyright Protection Technology is exactly the case. Just take a look at the list of the common problems that the people like you came across our site with.

We have a large Video Tapes collection that contains Disney animations and movies and a big number of Commercial VHS. To preserve our tapes by putting them on DVD Disks we’ve bought DVD Recorder ( DVD/VCR Combo Recorder ). But unfortunately DVD Recorder does not let us copy protected VHS to DVD. Dubbing Protected VHS to DVD also does not work. DVD Recorder keeps saying “Can not copy copyright protected video to DVD”. How can we copy protected Disney VHS to DVD? How to backup our protected VHS with DVD Recorder?

We have a Satellite or Cable Box DVR and want to record and offload movies and TV shows to DVD using DVD Recorder. DVD Recorder keeps saying “Protected Content”. How can we connect DVD Recorder to Cable Box DVR?

I have a PC equipped with a Video Capture Card ( FireWire/USB/USB2.0 Digital Recording Device ), DVD Burner and Video Editing Software. I want to use my setup to convert some DVD Disks and Video Tapes to DVD, but unfortunately I can’t do it. My Capturing/Recording device detects Macrovision Protection and does not let me get video into the PC. How can I copy protected DVD and VHS to PC?

I’ve got a DVD Disk with very interesting and thrilling movie/show. I would like to share it with my friends and relatives or just be able to see the same movie/show a few more times. I was trying to make a copy of this specific DVD Disk on my DVD Recorder but all I could get was message on the TV screen saying “You cannot record copy protected movie…”. How can I copy protected DVD to DVD Recorder?

Trying to copy some of our With High Quality S-Video Support (Video Cassette) or even simply connecting DVD player to VCR (Video Recorder) we get a strange video degradation problem. Cyclically we can see a few seconds of clear picture, after that we get a jumping frames with smashed colors and brightness fading in and out and finally it ends up with a lost picture and a blue screen on TV

I have a high end professional video equipment including LCD and HDTV monitors, Video Projector, Portable DVD Player, Car Video System, e.t.c. I’m using different video connections: Composite Video, S-Video, Component Video (Y,Pb,Pr). Anytime I’m trying to play protected DVD or protected VHS on my system I get distorted Video. It looks like my equipment can not survive Macrovision Protection. I have invested a lot of money in my video system and I believe that I deserve a better video quality on it

Have you found something for you? Or maybe something close to the specific problem you may have? Anyway please take a look over and probably the picture will become much more clear to you. Or simply drop us a line we will be happy to assist you. Now let’s see what actually the Grex Digital Video Stabilizer is. Grex is a Macrovision Protection Remover or so called Digital Video Stabilizer or Video Clarifier or Video Filter or Time Base Corrector (TBC) that simply disables Macrovision Protection in video signal. It is a continuation of the popular line of Dimax product DVD Red and DVD Red PRO. Our customers familiar with DVD Red and DVD Red PRO products will find many new and cool features in Grex.
