Will this copy using a finalized DVD-R (uncopyrighted home movie) as the source?

That was exactly what I tried to use, a dvd-r uncopyrighted home movie, and it did NOT work. I tried a variation of brands and discs, but nothing would work. I went through about 30 discs before I gave up. And this unit was a nightmare to return.

While I can't pretend to have studied this matter in depth, I can't think of any reason why it WON'T work.Moreover, I would think that, if there were a problem, either the Manufacturer, Amazon, or both, would include a warning (similar to the "region" codes placed on DVD/Blu-rays) in the description.

Hi, no, it will not copy these type of discs you are mentioning as it will have a copy protection added on the disc.

So far I have only copied CD-Rs. It looks like it only duplicates DVD-Rs with data only as well. Not sure about cd+g.

sorry, i am only copying unprotected documentary dvds and the cds as per the instruction booklet provided by the manufacturer; i had not noticed any other separate connection for copying other media such as off a pc terminal or even with a thumbdrive.

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).

It will copy BluRay to BluRay, DVD to DVD and CD to CD. However if you try to copy a store-bought disc which is copy protected by the manufacturer, it will not make a copy. In other words, it will not make an illegal copy.

Backed up/ dvd copies cannot be upconverted because of the lower bit rate. The signal may be 1080p but it will still be the same 480p image. DVD copies may look even worse in 1080p on occasion, prone to video noise and such.

I haven't tried it but I'm guessing most likely not. Not many home DVD players do if any that I'm aware of. I'd suggest burning a movie to a DVD-R if you are going that route.

The instruction manual say that you can and the front of the Zipspin tell you it will. We have found a couple of CD's that it would not duplicate, but we have enjoyed being able copy the CD's of our family pictures. You do have to adjust the speed to copy DVD's

It should, although I haven't tried it. Most people want to go the other way around... Record on the hard drive (temporary) and archive onto DVD (temporary to semi-permanent to permanent, depending on the type of DVD disk.) May I ask why you would want to put something from a playable archived format onto a temporary unit?

Spoke with Sony a few minutes ago that finalized dvds cannot be copied once created by the unit through normal copying methods, but the contents can then be ripped by a software utility. They mentioned Windows Live, but I am not familiar with this process. Does anybody know a good work-around?

Not generally. If they are commercial DVDs, they have copyright protection software that will block any copying.

No. I'm sure there is a way of doing it but not without accessing the hard drive directly. However, since the unit has the capability of transferring to a DVD directly from the hard drive why would you consider going that route?

original dvd will utilized full screen, however if its downloaded movie, depend on the file size & its must be in avi format

Woopak, I'm afraid you are incorrect. Not all commercial DVD discs are copy protected (Criterion etc..), the Oppo will upconvert and play +R and other burned media as well, please see the compatibility in the specs.
