hard drive DVD players

[dazza123]

Does anyone know knowledge or own a Hard drive dvd player?

The question is : if i go down to my local dvd rental shop and rent a dvd movie then put it into my dvd player can i copy it straight onto the hard drive? or onto another dvd?

Or do i need some kind of special software or codes?

Your thoughts pls

Macrovision will prevent you doing that by default. Saying that there's no doubt a way around that somehow.

I have an Archos480, great little gadgy.
You can record DVD's onto it but can't be watched on any other device because
of Macrovision.

I'd still recommend one to anyone

So does that mean you can store it on ur harddrive and watch it yourself cos that way your not watchin it on any other device?
