Copying DVD's

Zonda999

Can anyone answer me this before i go to the effort of trying it out.

Over the weekend, i wanted to copy a few of my sisters dvds so i hooked up my ps3, via scart to my dvd recorder, expecting to be able to record no problem. Before long i noticed that it was copy restricted. I had'nt realised before this that this restriction was in place. Anyways, my dvd recorder also has an RF input. My question is, if i hook up my ps3 to the dvd recorder using RF, will the recorder still detect the copyright restriction or will it just let it record?

BTW, the dvds are kinda half mine so please dont mention copyright infringement!:P

I think the bottom line is you wont be able to do this - the way you have it set up

If you want to make back ups of your dvds - you will need
Anydvd - the software
- and a pc with a dvd burner.

afterdawn.com have good tutorials

You can then rip the dvd to the harddisk of the Pc and burn a copy

I do it all the time for the kids - they mangled most of the Disney dvds that cost me a fortune - so now they mangle the cheap copies while the orig ones stay safe

Thanks for that. Since i made the OP, i've just being looking it up on google and it looks like no matter what method of connection you use, be it scart, RF or whatever, you wont be able to copy a dvd using a dvd player and recorder.

Been looking up a few tutorials on youtube and a few people are mentioning that some of these windows dvd copy applications do not work with really recent commercial dvds(Ones released after around late 2008), and unfortunately its new dvds i want to copy. I might try them out later though with my dvd burner on my laptop.

Anydvd is updated every week or so - there are others free ones which are far less reliable
