It seems increasingly difficult nowadays to burn TV content to DVD due to copy protections. I was wondering if anyone is still doing this, and if so, from what channels, and using what sort of technology? I'd like to save to permanent storage some of the content that channels like TCM show, because it's not available commercially in any form.
Also, is anyone out there able to copy DVDs? I have lots of homemade (burned by me), region-free DVDs from years ago when I had a DVD recorder/burner. Some of them are rare. I would like to be able to copy these. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I still have a DVD recorder.
Mickey, do you still record things, and if so, from what channels? Are you then able to burn them to a DVD? The problem is that a lot of the TV content nowadays is copy protected. I don't know if TCM falls into that category.
Can't you rip your DVDs to a computer? Then they'd be files that you can send to people or burn onto newer disks
Sylvia, that is something I've been wondering myself but haven't tried yet. I have a peripheral DVD drive, but it doesn't play DVDs. :-/ I'll have to test and see if I can simply download the file to my computer hard drive and then burn it to a new blank DVD. Whether I'll end up with something I can play, I don't know yet.
