I am doing a little research today out of consumer curiosity as noted by all my questions I've been posting. I am wondering which is better - using a DVD recorder and dubbing or using a DVD burner and ripping for DVD back ups? I have a recorder and another on the way that I've ordered, but I've noticed that the preferred method seems to be ripping on a PC. What are the advantages and is it something that is very difficult to get into? I view myself as being of moderate means of PC knowledge, not exactly a newbie, but if it's extremely entensive and difficult I'd be apprehensive about getting into it. So, which is better dubbing or ripping, and why? Thanks in advance.

You cannot "dub" commercial DVDs (store-bought ones with movies on them already) because they have encryption. The only way to get the movie off of it is to rip it. If you're talking about home movies, then you can do either, but "dubbing" with another DVD recorder will not allow you to transfer over the menus on the original DVD. It would be the same as if you recorded onto a VHS tape.

Not Really; With a proper recorder One can dub any VHS to a DVD and when using another DVD player Ome can copy any DVD.
The use of a stand alone recorder to do this is far better than a capture card and all the other hassel.
If one wants an absolute exact and perfect copy the PC may be the way to go but if all uou want is to dub VHS and copy a DVD to watch the movie. a stand alone unit is the way.
