Copying DVDs?


I have recently gotten a spate of email spam from people claiming to sell software (or something) that allows me to copy DVD (movies, presumably) onto my CD burner, then play them back in my DVD player.

Is anyone aware of this? Is it something that can be done anyway with no special software? What are the downsides?

I purchased one of those programs to copy dvd's on a cdr, I have had this for a month now and have yet to try it. The reason? it's not just one simple program like your average burner program, you have to copy this file, copy that file, use this program, use that program etc etc, in other words a royal pain in the A##. And from what I gather what you come out with is not a dvd , but a cvd (computer video disk) which may or may not work in your dvd player. My advice, save your money. The price for dvd burners is dropping all the time. Just my opinion. TG
