standalone dvd recorder dvd+r/rw to pc and back to dvd+/-r

[stackner]

i have just bought my first standalone dvd recorder. i have a stack of video tapes i will be converting to dvd. a lot of them are episodic tapes. my question is that is i record them to dvd+r/rw then rip them to the pc and reauthor as much as i can to a disc with menu's ect and burn to dvd+/-r will the ripping/burning back to dvd+/-r be any different to a normal dvd? as i have backed up a lot of MY OWN OWNED dvd's so i know what is involved in that.

There are a few oddball recorders out there that produce discs that are difficult to rip(via computer)....especially once you start trying to pack 4 to 6 hours on a single layer disc....but most are OK nowadays.
