If you're talking about copyright protected commercial dvds, i believe the saleman was fibbing. I think you'll have to use a PC and dvd decrypter + (usually) dvdshrink (or similar apps.) to do what you want to do. AFAIK this applies to all hdd dvd recorders.

Hi Doug,

there is a way around it. You can buy a macrovision copyright removal decoder. It's very simple to set up and they're on sale on the web, not too sure about the high street, but I am sure you'll be able to get one at a local pc fair.



I have added this link just to show you what you are looking for and I know you can get them for around 25 quid.
