	"I'm planning to copy some tapes from one HIFI VHS to another.
	I'm going to buy a gold plated video connector and use the
	standard connectors for the audio. I was wondering if I needed
	to do anything else. Someone told me I needed a "copycat" box
	because of the "tape guard". I would appreciate any info. on
	this subject. Thanx in advance."

The best advice is not to copy the tape, but instead to buy your own
legitimate copy.

There are still many people (including new readers of net.video) who
don't realize that duplicating a copyrighted tape is theft.  If you
want this program badly enough to pay the owner's price, then do so.
But if a high price on a stereo wouldn't motivate you to steal from the
stereo store, then you shouldn't steal video software.
