DVD recorder Q

Does anyone know if it would be possible to link a DVD Player to a DVD
Recorder and copy a dvd ?

JoeH...

Yes, almosst certainly, proviving they have compatible connectors. They
won't copy commercial (protected DVDs though, but would do your own movies
(or any other unprotected disc)

Would it copy a protected dvd that can't be copied in a pc ?

JoeH...

No - see above.

Also, I personally have never seen a DVD which cannot be backed up via a PC
(that doesn't mean that they don't exist though)

I have tried to copy it in Nero but it said it was copywrite protected.

A friend has lent us a double dvd album of Chicago and Earth Wind and Fire
in concert which is absolutely fantastic, but he bought it in the USA so I
don't think I could buy it here.

Check out Aries' reply.

Thank's Joe, I didn't as I assumed it wouldn't let me do it. :-)

linedancer...

Can it alter or harm the original DVD ?

Aries...

Not at all, I've copied many DVDs- except Sony ones don't seem to
co-operate !

JoeH...

Backed up Val, the phrase is *backed up*.

Aries...

ooops so it is ;)

linedancer...

I have successfully "backed up" both dvd's
Thank's Val and Joe for your help :-)

Aries...

Jolly good :)

linedancer...

Thank's Val, I have downloaded it, so I will have a go :-)

Aries...
