Well maybe it is, maybe not, but we don't need to argue it here. I'm sure he's using it for entirely legal purposes.

Rather than muck around with dual-layer discs, why not get some of those dual-sided ones? It's the same as an audio tape, you just flip it over.

If you want to burn a DVD that is copy protected than I'd rather to download the nice tool AnyDVD from Slysoft.
It says to the burner that the DVD hasn't a protection so you can burn all DVD's you want.
But it's illegal.

there are dual layer DVDs out there (~9gb) but majority of burners right now only support single layer (4.3GB) data discs...

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=dvd-rip.udf

In Germany a law was passed last year:
Unless there is NO copy protection, you may create a backup of any CD/DVD.
Programs bypassing these protections are considered illegal since then - such as Alcohol 52 and 120 % for instance - although I saw it in a store yesterday

When making backups from DVDs, ensure you have sufficient space on the partition, to the around 5 GB of free space required (since on a single sided DVD can be up to 4.7 GB of data) you should have 1 or 2 Gigs more for temp data available when copying a DVD. Oh, and shutdown too resource consuming programs to prevent a buffer underrun - although this doesn't happen that often like two years ago

Doing that would be illegal, so as long as you promise you won't, you're fine.
Anyway I don't think you can just pop a disc in and copy it like you can with CDs, but I don't actually have a DVD drive so I don't know a whole lot about it.

a DVD reader is necessary to rip DVDs
a DVD burner is necessary to burn DVDs (and it can rip DVDs)

as for how you can do it, I can not divulge that information for it is against the rules of the board...but I can PM you the information if you want...

I am currently planning on getting a DVD Burner so I can burn downloaded videos and what not to play on a DVD player. But I also want to be able to rip DVDs from friends and maybe even the local blockbuster :-D . I currently have a CD Burner Drive and will be getting a DVD Burning drive. Will this be enough for me to have a DVD and make a copy of that DvD?
