Question about DVD recording/editing

Sorry if this has been asked alot, I tried searching but didn't find an answer I understood.

I'm looking for a DVD recorder, either to hook up to the tv or computer - prefer tv. I want to be able to re-record dvds and be able to edit them. Is there anything for around $200 that can easily do this? I'm not very tech savy.

I have a bunch of sports games on dvd and want to be able to make "highlight reels" of certain players, games, etc.

I've been seeing alot of vhs to dvd/dvd to vhs but am having a hard time finding dvd/dvd.

The reason you're having a hard time finding info on dvd/dvd is because nearly all dvd copying would be illegal (ie any that are copyrighted) and we can't talk about it here. See this thread.

There are recorders right at $200, now. Or even cheaper. You won't get much quality cheaper, though. I just picked up the Panny ES10, MSRP 200. Haven't even had a chance to burn anything yet. Supposedly it is quite decent for the money.

To do real editing you want to use a PC or a HDD model. Editing in real time is a pain. A HDD model will still cost at least $400 street. If you find one for less, it's a good buy, assuming it isn't a complete scratch-n-dent mess.

Copying anything with copy protection on it is illegal, as Chew said. I believe all pre-recorded DVDs have copy protection.

But they have dvd to vhs recorders and vice versa. That's illegal too.

They don't record from DVD to VCR if the DVD is copy protected. Just because they are in one machine doesn't mean it can do it.

I know. My point was why don't they make dvd to dvd recorders if the dvd's are copy protected - it wouldn't work anyway. I don't want to copy copy protected dvds - I want to copy home movies and stuff I taped off tv.

I'm afraid you don't understand the DMCA or DVD Talk's policy concerning not discussing copying DVDs.
