Not if the VCR had Macrovision enabled, and most of them did. My first dives into mid-90s BBS forums was trying to find stereo VCRs  that had S-Video output and no Macrovision.

Trying to record anything with a Macrovision chip enabled looked like this:

I couldn’t get the double deck working back in the day.
 

 BUT, my best friend’s parents were wedding videographers and worked with the local tv stations.
 

  They had a pro double deck setup in their house. Star wipes, fade outs, audio dubbing.    It was pretty trick in 1989.
 

 We got away with a few bootlegs, but they were super Christian and scared of God.  So no stealing.  They were also scared of the cops/feds for stealing.  We definitely copied Life of Brian and Basic Instinct. 
 

Sony picture below is in my possession and working.
