Is it possible to copy a DVD.......
Is it possible to copy a DVD onto the HDD of a Home DVD recorder and then copy them back to another DVD disk ?? If so is there anything special that I require ??

Re: Is it possible to copy a DVD.......
You will need a DVD decrypter which i believe is ilegal BTW, and frowned upon discussion on this forum.

Depends on the make of DVD recorder, as to wether you can do it standalone.
On my parent's DVD recorder (Panasonic), we have the HDD -> DVD, DVD-> DVD and DVD -> HDD dubbing modes. You just go into the main menu and select what you want to do.
If you can't do that, then for like 15-30 quid you can get a cheapy DVD player and route the output of that one, into the input of your recorder.

Re: Is it possible to copy a DVD.......
It can be done with a DVD that is not copy protected IE one made at home ect...
A DVD that is purchased from a shop has macrovision protection so the image will currupt when you attempt to copy it...
As stated - Discusing methods of copy'ing protected media is not something that is allowed, If however you own the media then there is no problem.

Re: Is it possible to copy a DVD.......
DVD shrink and DVD decrypter are computer programs. You need a computer and dvd writer to do it.
You might want to consider that, if your home DVD recorder won't do standalone copying. You can get them from like 30-50 quid now, and you will have greater control, like to save the menus/extras, or axe them.
BTW, I am only helping you to copy DVDs which you legally own, and are entitled to make personal copies for backups. Copying anything you don't have permission to copy would be illegal.

Well, I thought from the first post that he wanted to copy DVDs with a standalone DVD recorder. The kind that sit under your TV.
