Microsoft and copy-protection company Macrovision have struck a deal =

The Macrovision technology has been one attempt to limit this. Rather =

Many devices such as DVD recorders respect this signal = and block recording if
it is detected.=20
Under the new deal, Microsoft's Windows Media software will recognize =
this signal when it is included in incoming analog video streams. For =

In future versions of its Media software, including the version in its =

Windows?
Yes, or no.
