Stupid Question can CD burner record DVD from my DVD player??

[Mustanggt]

I dont know much about cd burners but I think this is a big negative ???

 

[themadmonk]

When you say record, you mean burn a copy from your dvd player?

 

[Mustanggt]

YES I mean to record DVD movie from DVD player to new cd just like you would do with VHS

 

[IamDavid]

Nope.

 

[Mustanggt]

What are those DVD ram disks for then??

 

[themadmonk]

You have to get one of those new $2000 DVD Burners.

 

[Mustanggt]

Ok thanks for info.

I think the blank DVDs are more expensive than the movies! Also last year I had seen a DVD burner for $300. You can rip a DVD to a CD but you loose the quality. There was a rcent thread in the applications forum about it.

DVD burners for $300? ha! the disk are around $20-30 depends on which burner you get. (theres no standard right now, 2 different ones competing right now)

I have been informed that DVD's are built differently and that it is impossible to copy them. I am not sure that this is true, but it is pretty believable.

Maybe if you had a million dollars you could buy a DVD maker that the people in movie business use. I think that we are a long way from copying DVD's

You just need a DVD-ROM drive, a CD-RW drive, a dvd(mpeg2) converts to vcd(mpeg 1) or divx(mpeg4) program. Of course the video and sound quality will be downgraded.

Someone who tried it told me that the resulting video quality was very poor.

You can copy DVD movies all you need is a DVD ROM drive as a source, decription software to remove the copy protection, 5 Gigs of hard drive space and a DVD RAM drive to record it on. The catch is the cost, $300-700 for the RAM drive and $40 for the blank two sided 5.2 Gig disk. The movie will have to be cut into two segments to fit on the disk. Also the copied disk may not be readable in home DVD units. Too much effort and cost to copy a $20 movie. Rick.
