no. According to the wiki, It was just used for fearmongering as dissuade pirates.
Yeah obviously I mean I know it couldn't work, but I've never even heard of this as a copy protection method. What was it used on? Like Hollywood?
It was used in only one VHS tape called Cat Sitter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEDxj-0Hbao
I really surprised I didn't get rickrolled.
Yeah. Playing and recording uses the same mechanism in a VCR. Writing uses a different method but it would be on the second tape. Unless you tried to record over the tape which I don't think works on non-recordable anyways.
These things actually work. I once tried to copy a KTC protected VHS and it ended up breaking my cd drive beyond repair
Thank goodness I’ve just upgraded to laser disk.
Isn't this easily bypassable by adding a recording device between the vcr and the display
What does KTC stand for?
