Recently, I wanted to convert some other tapes I found in the attic,

but something very strange is happening.

Some tapes I bought many year ago look ugly

But other tapes are captured well by the ADVC, even some I shoot by

myself about 30 years ago.

This could be caused by a copy protection mechanism like this:

There are some recipes on the net to bypass it, I do not know if it is

useful and reliable, for example:

Wow, that worked perfeclty! I own an ADVC 110 instead of the older 110, but the trick has remained the same.

Many, many, many thanks!
