I have my home movies (uncopyrighted) on finalized DVD-R disks. Can they be used as the source disk?

yes you can use any finalized disc's as your source disc, but it will only copy from same type disc like dvd to dvd or cd to cd but will not copy cd to dvd or vice versa, also you can't make copies of any retail or rented disc's as they have blocked their code to protect them from theft.

I never had to do any of that with mine, thank goodness. I use DVD-R, I burned, I finalized, and they play in my Samsung and my Mac Mini's drive.I had something odd happen the other day, though; a DVD I ordered from Netflix wouldn't play, even after I cleaned it up, but same DVD would play in my computer's drive. It was a foreign film, but I wonder what it was about a commercial disc that would make the Samsung spit it out every time, telling me "please check the disc"? That's the only time that's happened! I wonder if by now it's time to clean the laser.

I have used both DVD-R and DVD+R as blnaks. I have not tried DVDRW but I ddon't see why that wouldn't work.

probanbly not. dvd's have a coding making them impossible or very difficult to copy. a special software is needed.

I would say yes. i got a pack of 2 dvd-r disks at the 99cts. store to experiment. it worked. Try it, that's how you find stuff out.dvd-rw - yes

It depends on your system. Check your disc information page, or you dvd guide.

Thanks. Do you know where I can find information about how to save the DVD to the HD?

Yes, you can. Process may not be simple though. Look here: http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Convert_Your_HD_DVDs_to_Blu-Ray http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=155834

Yes. If they are copy protected. Nero will prevent you from copying them. If they are not (and you have permission) you will be able to copy them. The best way to find out if they are copy protected is to attempt to copy them.

hd 2nd generation, can I burn a dvd from movies saved on my computer? Thanks

You can as long as your DVD has a record function. There shouldn't be any other reason not to be able to (other than read disc errors).

are you sure? my model is old and i can't edit and finalize afterwards and use in another dvd player. The finalize process is the real important thing to play in other players, but just with RAM discs because it won't let me edit using DVD-RW discs.

I'm assuming that you can. I usually just play them on our DVD player. Hope this helps.

i'm pretty sure you can. i didn't have any trouble doing it. but not copy-protected discs or tapes.

Handbrake. Seriously, it's the only thing you'll ever need to convert DVD's - and best of all it's free. You'll have to rip the movie from the DVD first (assuming it's copyrighted).

Sure. You remove the SD card, and copy the movies on CD, DVD, other Card, etc. I backup on the shared network attached drive.
