Is it possible to buy players that will over-ride Copy Protection, or must it be done in some other way??????????????????????????

There are DVD players on the market (such as Goodmans) that can have the Macro protection switched off by a series of button presses, as per changing the region.
If you have a particular DVD player in mind then try this site:

This is where I got my panasonic dvd recorder from. It`ll play multi region and also bypasses enhanced region coding and macrovision as do all of the dvd players on sale there. Delivery is also quick as hell. I`d very highly recommend them

If you want to copy Macrovision-encoded material to another format for backup/personal use (*cough*), you can buy a SCART lead that removes the copy protection. I can recommend this one:

The SCART lead from is the cheapest I have seen.
As to players that can be macro disabled the details for many are listed under hacks at
Many tend to be cheaper brands too.
I recall some Mustek players, the Burnstar 2002SE and certainly some older Decca models can be disabled.
However computer based copiers like DVD shrink (freeware!) are the best way.
