The way the copy right law works is that when you record the shows as long as it is non-commercial and for personal consumption it is OK.  The moment that you put it in the public domain or try to make profit off of it, you are infringing the copy right of the show and you can be legally liable that way.  That is why they shut down Napster in the first place.

Check out the articles at the links below, one on "How Tape Recorders Work" and one on "How CDs Work."\n\nI don't think there's any reason, in principle, that a two-sided CD couldn't be made.  There are certainly two-sided DVDs.

DVDs cost more for the same reason you pay more for CDs than for vinyl and cassettes, even though they cost less to make.  \n\nIt's pure corporate greed.  They had a new product and could make up any price they wanted, even though they could have sold them for less than VHS.\n\nIf you're willing to live without all the "special tricks" of DVDs, buy VCDs instead.  They cost less and they play the same way VHS did, a linear view from start to finish.

It's the way data is recorded on a compact disc. A CD recorder uses a laser to selectively heat parts of an organic dye layer in a disc. With rewriteable CDs, the laser melts a crystalline metal alloy.\n\nThat's why CD recorders are sometimes called burners.

Umm...if computers weren't meant to be used with televisions, then why would they make video cards with TV-Out connections and have developed Media Center to be more easily integrated with you Home Theater System?  How do people upload their home movies to the internet from VHS and watch ripped backups of DVDs, etc. on their television directly from their hard drive?   DUH\n\nI apologize for the irrelevance to the question.

Unlike VCR recording, speed does not affect the amount of video you can put onto a DVD.  If you want to add more video to the DVD, you need to reduce the quality of the video itself.\n\nThe reason some people change their recording speed when burning a DVD is to reduce the number of errors made. To do this, go to your burning software and somewhere under options or tools, there should be a way to lower the speed.\n\nHope this helps.
