If you are just using a single region, then No.  If you are purchasing different regions, then Yes.\n\nIf you don't need that feature, then don't waste your money on it.

Region codes are put on DVDs so they can only be played in certain countries. Some players can play DVDs from other countries. I guess it's asking you if you want it to import the chapter titles, since it recognizes the region. not sure though, I've never copied a DVD.

LITE-ON is the best.  QVC(www.qvc.com) has a great one I just purchased that uses ANY DVD Disc, doesn't matter if it's - or +, etc.  and comes with a VHS so you can immediately convert all your old tapes over to DVD before you lose them.  If you haven't heard of LITE-ON, look them up.  They are the "no name" supplier to the BIG NAME dudes like Sony, Pioneer, etc.

The + and - of the DVD R are two competing formats, +R being developed by the DVD+RW Alliance, and -R being devloped by DVD forum. Both allow recording of up two 4.7GB on a single layer, and 8.5GB on a dual layer.  The primary difference is some drives do not read one type of the DVD, and so dual drives are popular, since they can read both formats. Dual burners are also popular.\n\nAs far as I know, there is no difference in burnable CDs, A CDR is a CDR, there’s one format. Different types of CDs react differently in different drives (older drives sometimes have trouble reading certain media), but there is no format difference.

Dual Layer recording allows DVD-R and DVD+R discs to store significantly more data, up to 8.5 Gigabytes per side, compared to 4.7 Gigabytes for single-layer discs. DVD-R DL was developed for the DVD Forum by Pioneer Corporation, DVD+R DL was developed for the DVD+RW Alliance by Philips.\n\nDVD recordable discs supporting this technology are backward compatible with most existing DVD players and DVD-ROM drives. Many current DVD recorders support dual-layer technology, and the price point is comparable to that of single-layer drives, though the blank media remains significantly more expensive. Currently the technology has severe problems with compatibility in DVD players. Dual Layer Drives will work with Regular DVD-R drives.

just make sure it is a "multi region dvd" . many companies make them but seem to be hard to find.or you can just buy a "multi region dvd player" that will play any dvd

You can do it, but it's not worth it. Time consuming and quality reducing.\nQuit being cheap and buy some more DVD-R's.

Back in January I brought a DVD recorder from QVC and the price was right. I saw the same exact model at Best Buy and it was about $100 more than I paid for it. I would definitely buy from QVC again.

You can use Nero version 6, dont get version 7, it has lots of problems or else get roxio's dvd burning software.

Yes but your machine needs to be reasonably new and you need the region unlock code for your machine.  I have a Phillips dvd player I got from walmart, was about $40 which I unlocked to play the dvd's I brought with me from UK.  Get the model number of your player and search it with 'region unlock code' on google. Don't pay for it though, there are free sites, you just have to dig around for them.

If you know that you are going to make a dvd recording and won't mess up on it then use the dvd-r because you can only use that disk once. The dvd-rw is a good disk because you can record over it if you decide you don't like what you recorded on that disk. just remember that -r is for recording once, and -rw is for recording over whats on it.

it can be down to the disks, you actually use, not all dvd types play on normal dvds players, i have a jvc one which dont play cheap dvd r's i buy form a cheap supplier, but it plays sony dvd -r's, where i have a cheap £30 philips one and plays every dvd i have. you need to try searching the forums for your model and see what type of disks everyone uses. if you mail me ill see if i can find more or post your dvd player model

If you use DVD Decrypter or even DVD Shrink, that would do the trick.  You'll need a burning engine as well, such as Roxio or Nero (or you can probably download a free one). My understanding is that you are allowed to make one copy under the "Fair Use" provision of the law. Although this is still a contentious issue.

You need to import the video then write the DVDs.  Having an interface like Dazzle gives you the ability to import video,  Having something like Nero allows you to handle the rest.

You can change the Region on a burned DVD to a region-free disc by using the program  DVDShrink.\nhttp://www.dvdshrink.org/what.html\nHowever, you must correctly identify the original region the disc you're backing up was intended for in order for the program to work
