Protected VHS for DVD Duplication

Hello,
I have a protected dance VHS tape. I want to extract sequences of choreography for personal training; I play it on a PHILIPS VCR, then send the video to a TOSHIBA RD XV 47 DVD/VHS recorder for recording on the hard drive (and then transferring to DVD): it refuses because the VHS is protected; however, I managed to copy my tape
onto another PHILIPS VCR as well. This new tape is also not re-recordable on the TOSHIBA hard drive. So I am looking for a way to transfer the content and selected excerpts from my VHS to the hard drive of my Toshiba. Is there software to load onto the recorder? A box containing a cracker connected between the VCR output and the recorder input? Any other solution? I can naturally use a simple method: record the film from the TV screen onto a camcorder, but it's not great (dark band at the top of the camcordered image...
Thank you in advance for your response
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

    VHS tapes are protected by the MACROVISION system, VHS/DVD - VHS/VHS.
    If your television, VCR, video projector, or DVD player experiences interference during playback or recording, you have the option to correct it.
    This can be done using an electronic box (VIDEOCLEAR 5 MAX) that is inserted between the player containing the original video (VCR or DVD player) and the projector or television (or the recording device).
    The VIDEOCLEAR 5 MAX allows you to correct these interferences and restores the image to its optimal quality.
    Totally compatible with most televisions, VCRs, DVD players (and DVD RECORDERS).

    Logically, you should either have a TV capture card or a video capture card. If that’s the case, you need to connect the video from the VCR to the video input of the card, and connect the red and black audio cables using an adapter to the input of the sound card. Then, with the software corresponding to the capture card, you make the necessary settings to capture the film to the best of your abilities.

    Good evening, and yes, I've already filmed my screen several times when there are no other solutions. To avoid dark bars, lower your camera's shutter speed. Try 1/25th. Also, to avoid unpleasant surprises, switch to manual focus, and check the white balance which can be skewed. For the sound, connect the TV's headphone output to the camera's mic input, and do some tests to get a proper volume. Otherwise, I believe you need an old VCR to bypass the protection...

      Thank you
      For the camcorder, I will look into the settings that I have never practiced during the week; the VCR is a Philips that's 3 or 4 years old which captures a protected VHS, and I don't understand why the capture is refused on the Toshiba recording player. There must be a technical way to bypass the difficulty since companies do this kind of capture BUT FOR A FEE.

      Hello
      This morning, I switched to manual adjustment; by setting it in the middle of the adjustment bar, the dark bar completely disappeared and the filmed image is impeccable;
      The next part of the raised issue remains pending: the protection
      Best regards

      Thank you. I will get my neurons excited to figure out how to connect the VCR output to my computer (2006) because right now I don't know how to do it.
      Thank you anyway for all those nice people who help.
      Best regards.

    A 2006 computer feels like yesterday, if you have a capture card it's really simple.
    Just so you know, mine is from 2002 DIY, it's a different story.

      Hello and thank you
      I'm not tech-savvy enough to understand the "it's all simple" with the card installed (which I need to check, by the way); would you be so kind as to explain your answer in more detail? I'm just a self-taught person trying to overcome the obstacles when they arise while also seeking help;
      Sincerely
