| I just got a dvd player (for my telly) that says CD-R and CD-RW, does that mean i can rip a dvd, burn it, and watch it? |

| dude, i think that it means you can only burn cd's, because to burn dvd's you need a dvd-r/dvd-rw... at least i think you need dvd-r. |

yes you can... rip a dvd and then burn it on a cd-r and watch it
dvd-r's burn a dvd directly so you dont have to rip it :) |

| no, you cant. DVDs are protected. You need a program such as DVDXCOPY or something to do it. You can only burn DVD encoded ISOs or BINs that have had the protection ripped. |

| I believe the CD-RW part is sort of like a TiVo type deal going on. You can record television programs and such. However, I don't believe it is capable of burning DVD. |

| lets put it this way. I have 400 gigs of HD space, all full, I go through several hundred CDs and about 100 DVDs a month. This is what I do, You HAVE to have a program to rip DVDs. You can burn all the ripped DVDs in the world. You cannot directly make an image, or do a direct DVD burn without ripping the protection! If you could dont you think most people would just buy DVD burners and rent every DVD at their local store? |

CD-RW= CD-ReWritable thats why normal CDs are called CD-Rs you can only put info on them once. I dont know where TiVo came in.
The main difference between CDs and DVDs is the encoding. They need seperate programs to read/encode. Thats why CD drives dont read DVDs. So, naturally, the CD portion of the DVD drive will not be able to read/encode DVDs. But thats why its also a DVD-r burner. |

| Yeah, I know what a CD-RW is...I'm not ing retarded. I was saying it's a bit like TiVo because you can record stuff from the TV to CD-R/RW. Like the new Playstation 2 concept that will be releasing soon. |
