UMC-1 Have Synch feature

[fram]

I make copies of my DVD/Blu Ray investments on my home NAS.

When played through the WD HD Live player, the audio is ever so slightly ahead of the video. It is best notices during movie dialog, the lip movement to sound is just out of synch.

Does the UMC-1 have tools or adjustments to correct this?... Maybe with adding delay to the audio or video?

Thanks

Yes, the UMC-1 has the ability to add and adjustable lip-sync delay.

How do you make legal copies?

Making a copy is legal automatically. Are you asking, how is it technically feasible, or how is it technically legal?

Only if the copyright holder allows making a home copy, under DMCA.

...and virtually no studios allow this correct?

Well, true. This one is sort of like states / cities where there are laws against buying and selling certain drugs or herbs, but not against the actual possession of a certain amount of them. I love law incongruity.

So, it's technically legal to have a copy, but it is not technically legal to create a device that makes the copy.

DMCA Muscle Kills DVD Copying, for Real

Judge Patel, in her ruling in the RealNetworks case, said “while it may well be fair use for an individual consumer to store a backup copy of a personally owned DVD on that individual’s computer, a federal law has nonetheless made it illegal to manufacture or traffic in a device or tool that permits a consumer to make such copies.”

Patel, however, added some doublespeak: “Fair use can never be an affirmative defense to the act of gaining unauthorized access” — a simple way of saying it was illegal to hack into the encryption to make a copy.

Sony vs Universal established the right for home copying for the purposes of backup or time shifted viewing, but it allowed copyright holders to invoke copy protection schemes to prevent such copies at their discretion. It has always been illegal to bypass copy protection. DMCA expands this protection into the digital domain and strengthens the restrictions by clearly spelling them out. Fair Use really has nothing to do with making home copies and the Judge in the quotations you cite is misusing the term.
