Newbie Question - Mid Sixties Admiral Color TV

[newhallone]

I have tried a few different inline jobs and they all never quite worked right. the best way is to copy the dvd's. But that costs money unless you do not buy the original but borrow/rent/or check it out at your library and copy those. So what did copy protection accomplish? The exact opposite of what they wanted. I'm surprised there was never a class action lawsuit over people buying video tapes and then not being able to watch them on their tv. My parents tv is fairly new and it hates tapes with copy protection. It does ok on dvds though.

Does that suck or what? I pay $50 bucks for a legitimate version and I'd have to make a copy so it plays correctly. That just seems so wrong.

I wonder if it would play better on another DVD player or if its the TV? I didn't have that problem on a 1955 B&W RCA I was using before this.
