You want to make backup copies and sort of retire the originals?
I would of thought most DVD burning software could handle this. The real problem comes along with a dual layer DVD, I think most burners and burning software only support single layer, so they compress to fit it on, and you lose quality.
Not real sure, I have not copied any DVD's yet. My collection is large, I am not sure if it is practical for me.
My Dvd recorder is a Panasonic DMR-ES10. Reviews state that it records stereo. Is this not correct? Yes, I want to make one DVD with the "hits" from a few music video discs, but I want to retain the 5ch sound.
I'd still think a DVD Burner with some good software is your best bet on this one. Your stand alone DVD recorder may not have this capability, this is true.
