Sima Ct2 GoDVD promises to bridge the gap between clunky VHS tapes taking up space in your entertainment center and your DVD player. Sima says their Sima GoDVD Digital Video Enhancer will make a higher quality, better looking conversion to a slimmer, sleeker DVD, so your memories and family wedding videos won't languish on outdated tape.
But finding the Sima Ct 2 Video Enhancer may be a hunt. Because of a legal battle, production of the Sima Digital Video Enhancer has been discontinued, and the product is hard to come by. Some sites say they have only one or two remaining. The product has its champions, who swear by it for better video quality, and its critics, who say save your money.
Proponents say:
1. The Sima Ct2 GoDVD Video Enhancer will stabilize video signals for crisp copies.
2. It will reduce noise in video sync.
3. The product will ease connection between different types of recording standards S-VHS, VHS-C, VHS, 8mm and DVD compatible.
However, other people in the industry say all of these are really a cover, when the actual function of the product is to skirt built-in encryption and copyright protections. Sima, along with another company, was sued by Macrovision in 2005.
