  1. Hi everyone,
    I have a newbie question for you. I have some SVCDs and DVDs that people have burned using their computers and sent to me. They contain various music videos and concerts etc from tv.

    If I connect a DVD player to my Philips DVDR75 stand-alone recorder and copy these to DVD+R discs (using the component inputs and outputs on the machines) will I have any copy protection/macrovision etc problems doing this? Will these discs just copy normally to a DVD+R disc (without flickering etc) because they are not actual copyrighted movies?

    I don't understand if DVD players and recorders have some kind of "built-in" copyright thing that stops you copying any discs, or if this copyright thing is only on the actual disc that you are trying to copy?

    Thanks

    Home-made movies don't have any sort of copy protection. AFAIK, DVD recorders don't have it either, but they can detect whether or not the disc or program that you want to copy has copy protection on it.

    connect your video leads into the cam input on the recorder, then connect the other end of the leads to the source dvd hit play then hit record on the recorder. hey presto!
