Is ther anyway to back up movies you own with a dvd recorder? I ve tried and have had no sucess.Any help would be appreciated.
You cannot backup original movies with DVD recorder, they are protected and the recorder cannot get beyond this protection. Better to use PC and dvd burner. You can however backup a backup with a DVD recorder because the copy protection has already been removed. There is something available that may enable you to do this try this site http://www.dimax.com.ua/ http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/2/4950.html http://www.micro-solutions.com/support/docs/3200.asp
Actually you can google this (Sima CT-2 GoDVD). All you need is this box to get you past the protection. I agree with arniebear I prefer the computer route that way everything you produce DVD's have no protection. Sounds like you allready have a settop recorder so all you need is this box.
