Can I use this to defeat Macrovision copy protection on old VHS movies?

Yes. Macrovision works by interfering with primitive auto-gain circuits. This would easily defeat it.

You can also ignore macrovision if you have an older deck with manual gain.

This would be super overkill. There are tons of ways to get around macrovision.
