I have a Toshiba SD-3750 DVD player that works great when I use the S-video or composite outputs to my TV (CRT). When I use either of these outputs with my DIY LCD projector (using the nView Spectra C LCD panel), I get the classic Macrovision fading/brightening cycle every few seconds.
ALL I WANT TO DO IS WATCH SOME DVDs!!! I DON'T WANT TO COPY ANYTHING!!! Why am I being punished for fair use of this DVD player, which I paid good money for?
Anyway, I have a fairly firm grasp on the concept of analog copy protection like Macrovision, but I was wondering what any of you may have done to circumvent this situation. I sent an e-mail to Toshiba, but no replies. I am thinking about getting this...

I'm not even sure if it will work with my DVD player (I've read that some of these "stabilizers" will not work with Toshiba equipment
), and I would rather not spend money to sneak around a protection circuit that is protecting no one from anything.
Are there any simple DIY solutions?
Just looking for opinions. Thanks for any input!
