You mean "Macrovision".
And it depends on what you're referring to. If you're referring to what is commonly referred to as "Macrovision protection", then you can strip that off with a time base corrector or anything that doesn't use automatic gain control. RipGuard can be bypassed similarly, as all it does is "protect" against ripping software. (I quoted it because it's been more or less broken.) It also pisses off a lot of computers, just like everything else in copy-protection land.
I don't know why you'd ever use the analog method these days, though, unless you really can't get a DVD drive for whichever reason...
