DVD Recording to Hard Drive

[Robitso]

I am about to buy a DVD Recorder and am new to DVD recorders, but wanted to know if it is possible to Get a DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW from someone who has recorded a movie and play it on my machine and record the contents onto my HDD, and I can then record this onto another disc. Iam thinking of buying either a Toshiba RD-XS34 or Sony RDR-HX510, and was advised I could not play a disc, record the contents onto HDD and then burn to another disc with some machines. Can someone please advise.
thanks

it possibly will play on the player/recorder you can only try..
as to recorder the contents to the hdd.

no idea , and i dont think they allow copyright talk on this forum too.


i think all you can do is seach different brands and models and see what there can and cant do in the specs.

Yes I can do what you say on my XS34. I assume you are not suggesting copying a disc with menus, 5.1 sound etc., because you need a PC to do that.
