This is because of the macrovision protection.
Just do a search on how to remove macrovision.
As I understand you haven't got a DVD-ROM at your pc, but you have a separate one to watch on the TV.
My opinion is that if you want to back up DVDs you should buy a DVD-ROM and do the whole thing at the pc!
It is a lot more easier and cheaper too. It is cheaper because you do the whole operation (backing up the dvd) whith programms that are free to use, and you won't have to buy any hardware (to bypass the macrovision protection) as you'll probably need if you don't buy a dvd-rom.

hi, I do have a DVD rom , and i know its has that protection on it, my goal is to try to backup just this one feauture of the dvd unto a vhs. I know theres this equipment out there that can do it, but its around $70. I have seen and gotten some of the files to dissable that protection , but dont know how to apply it for this tv card device. Have not found how to on web yet. Wanted to test out the digital vcr that came with it.
