DVD Burners

[Rayzyn]

hello im a newb to all this stuff about dvd burning etc etc. I am looking for a DVD Burner as they are cheap enough now and was wondering a few thing about them.

1) Can I backup my dvds without any copyright issues onto DVD-R?

2) Can I backup Dual Layer disc movies onto regular DVD-R?

3) Can I Play Multiregion DVDs without the drive staying locked onto the 5th region I used?

4) Which drive types and models can be upgraded to Dual Layer burning?


thank you for your time. Rayzyn

1) You can backup films you own for your personal use only (subject to copyright laws in different countries)

2)Yes

3)MultiRegion DVD are playable in just about any drive or standalone DVD player

4)Not worth buying a DL drive just yet but there is I am not sure now but was it LG or BenQ drives that can be made officialy a DL drive by firmware update
