How does it know?

How does the dvd know that I have now pressed record on the vcr?
It plays perfect, crystal fucking clear until I press record.
Then it warbles and bends and fades from color to black and white.
Stop recording and it's back to perfection.
How the fuck does it know?
Not all the movies do this.
Just some.
Certain really fucking good ones and then some not so good ones.
This perplexes me.
