.`.......@H. ]] M A C R O V H S C O D I N G [[ .----------------------------- ---------------.A RECENT "FILM 92" STATE D THAT THE .VIDEO FILM INDUSTRY IS SOON TO BE .CODING THEIR RELEASES IN A BID TO .STOP PIRACY. IT IS ALSO STATED THAT .T HE RENTAL MARKET IS LOSING MILLIONS.OF P OUNDS DUE TO PIRACY , BUT THE.RETAIL MAR KET IS ON AN ALL-TIME HIGH..THE "NEW" CO DING SYSTEM IS CALLED,."MACRO CODING", A ND WHILST THE FILM.IS BEING TRANSFERED T O VHS, THE .CODING SYSTEM ADDS ANOTHER T RANS-.PARANT SIGNAL TO THE TAPE. WHEN TH E.AVERAGE PERSON RENTS OUT THE FILM,.AND WATCHES IT, HE/SHE IS TOTALLY .UNAWARE THAT THE CODE IS THERE. .HOWEVER, WHEN Y OU HOOK TWO VIDEO'S.UP TO COPY THE FILM ONTO ANOTHER.TAPE, THAT'S WHEN THE HEADA CHES.START! USUALLY, THE TV IS CONNECTED .TO THE RECORDING VCR, SO THAT YOU.CAN T ELL IF THE SIGNAL IS REACHING IT,.AND TH AT ALL IS GENERALLY WELL. BUT.THIS IS WH EN THE CODE SHOWS UP. THE.SIGNAL CHANGES THE CONTRAST OF THE.PICTURE, SO THAT IT BECOMES VERY.LOW..THEN IT STARTS TO FLU CTUATE HIGHER.AND LOWER. THIS CONFUSES T HE RECORD-.ING VCR TOTALLY, AND WHEN YOU PLAY-.BACK THE RECORDED SECTION, IT COM ES.OUT TERRIBLE, AND THE PICTURE EVEN.BE GINS TO ROLL!!.THE OLDER PIANO-TYPE VCR' S (REMEMBER.THEM?) CAN GET AROUND THE PR OBLEM,.BECAUSE THEY ARE SO OLD, THAT THE Y.DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT THE SIGNAL IS.THE RE! AND SINCE A LOT OF PEOPLE NOW.HAVE F LASH HI-FI STEREO NICAM VCR'S,.THE MACRO CODING CONFUSES THEM ALL!.. ]] MACRO CODING - THE TRUTH! [[..WHEN BARRY NORMA N SAID THAT THIS.MACRO CODING WAS NEW, H E MUST HAVE.BEEN TALKING OUT OF HIS ASS, 'COS IT'S.BEEN AROUND FOR ALMOST 5 YEAR S!.BACK IN 1988, I RENTED OUT A FILM.CAL LED 'SPACECAMP' BY CBS FOX VIDEO..THE SA ME THING AS I MENTIONED ABOVE.STARTED TO HAPPEN WHEN I TRYED TO.COPY THE PREVIEW S, AND THIS TOTALLY.PISSED ME OFF! I FIR ST THOUGHT THAT.MY RECORDING VCR WAS MUF FED, SO I.THOUGHT I'D SOD IT. THEN I REC ORDED.SOMETHING OFF THE TV, AND THAT CAM E.OUT FINE! THEN I RENTED 'SUPERMAN IV'. ON THE WARNER BROS LABEL, EXACTLY .THE S AME THING HAPPENED!..AT THAT TIME, I KNE W NOTHING ABOUT.IT , BUT WHY HAS THE VID EO INDUSTRY.LEFT IT UNTIL NOW TO TELL TH E PUBLIC?.FROM THAT TIME ONWARDS, TO THE .PRESENT DAY, ALL RENTALS ON THE CBS.AN D WARNER LABEL HAVE BEEN CODED..HOWEVER, WHEN WARNER RELEASED SOME.OTHER FILMS O N THE SELL-THROUGH .MARKET, THESE WEREN' T CODED AT ALL!.ALSO, OTHER BIG COMPANIE S (SUCH AS.CIC VIDEO, WHO TRANSFER ALL O F THE.PARAMOUNT FILMS)WEREN'T CODING THE IR.RENTAL FILMS EITHER! SO WHAT I WANT.T O KNOW IS: WHAT THE F**K IS GOING .ON?.( MAYBE SOMEONE CAN ENLIGHTEN ME IN.THE NE XT ISSUE OF ART-VERTS?!). ]MACRO CODING - GETTING AROUND IT[..AS EVERYONE KNOWS, NOTHING IS UN-.CRACKABLE.SO WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE.THE VIDEO INDUSTRY?
