    That's probably "macrovision," a copyguard system used on a lot of DVDs. It's there to keep you from doing exactly what you're trying to do.

    To disable macrovision between a DVD player and a VHS player requires a "stabilizer." While I'm not familiar with how they work (or how legal they are), if you go to google.com and search on "video stabilizer," you'll find a lot of sites with information about getting and using one.
