I am not only a newbie but an oldie as well. I am computer literate, so that bit's OK, but I am lost when it comes to all the different formats I see associated with DVD ripping and burning. All I want to do is to be able to copy a DVD, and be able to play it on a regular DVD player (yet to be bought), connected to my TV. I assume the DVD player will support whatever it says it will, but is it possible to copy a DVD to DVD format (if it is a format). Or do I have to copy it to a different format, and then convert it to DVD....or what.? I Obviously want to get as close to a perfect copy as the original DVD. I have yet to see any reference for copying DVD to DVD in any of the millions of software programs out there, so I take it that it can't be done. Would be grateful for any help. Thanks Wooduck
