My sony VCR uses a 21 bit code. The actual details for timing for the infrared LED are in the service manual. If you wanted to build something as a microcomputer peripheral, you could do it for less than $ 10. Unfortunately, there is no universal set of codes, so you'll have to program the transmitter separately for each remote control device you have.
