11/28   can dvd burners burn store bought DVDs w/ standard software or do you
        need elite pirated software?
        \_ doesn't elite pirated software just mean a pirated copy of
           standard software?  anyway, you can't directly copy store bought
           DVD movies; you'd have to get some tools to decrypt the DVD if
           it's encrypted, yank out the audio/video streams you need,
           make sure the stuff you want fits onto a DVDR, and then burn it.
           not sure about the Xbox/PS2 DVD burning...
        \_ http://www.doom9.org .  the documents there have a blind-men-feeling-
           up-an-elephant quality, but if you can do cs at berkeley, you
           should be able to puzzle things out.
        \_ burn store-bought DVDs?  What are you asking?  Yes, you can burn
           to store-bought DVD[+-]RW? media.  Where else would you buy it?
           Now, if you're asking if you can *copy* commercial DVDs, then no
           not exactly.  Commercial DVDs are typically pressed dual-layer
           discs; consumer hardware can burn only a single layer, so you
           either need to recompress or split the movie into parts.  And
           elite pirated software?  That would imply that there's commercial
           software to do such things.

        How can I copy a DVD so I can play it in a regular DVD player?

        \_ what format is the video file on the original DVD?
