Could someone recommend a program for computer, or video components that will allow me to do this and remove the copyright restrictions and/or Region codes? I get a lot of foreign tapes. No, I don't pirate. Really. My computer is not yet hooked up to the cable, but will be shortly, so would I be able to play the DVD on the DVD-R and transfer directly to the computer DVD? Would I have to "download" the DVD first and then burn it on the DVD+=? Thanks for your help in advance....

mildly confused.....

just wondering - if you have already bought the tape, havent you really bough the rights to watch it. then if you downloaded a new format version from the internets to burn to DVD, you wouldnt actually be pirating, merely changing formats!
