Sigh ... no one is attacking you, just your assertion, unsupported by case
law. There are, in fact, myriad cases concerning video copying, both in the
US and Berne Convention countries. The one you have selected is not germane
to the question.

The California case that you "remember" is not on point, but merely supports
the well-known principle that display of a licensed work in other than the
forum for which it is licensed is prohibited. It says nothing about
conversion of formats, home use or display of a converted copy of a
legitimately obtained work.

It's not that I "don't like the answer;" it's that it is superfluous.
