It's illegal because of copyright laws.  Theoretically even burning CD's and DVD's for backup personal use is illegal.

Most DVDs are copy-protected so that you can't do that, since it's a form of theft.  If it's your own content, that you are entitled to copy, then just copy the files onto your hard drive, then attach in the usual manner.

It's illegal to copy games but there is a software to do that. you have to buy it.\nI think it's called DVD WIZARD PRO.I am not sure. search in yahoo.

The system isn't illegal, no.\n\nHowever, if you distribute/or download copyright-protected media, that is illegal. That's basically abusing the principle of Peer-2-Peer and other File Sharing programs.

copying is illegal....yeah yeah yeah... but...\n\nmost producers of kiddy disks will replace kids disks for a nominal charge. they often don't even require that you return the broken disk!

Actually it is NOT illegal, as long as you do not sell or broadcast the copied material.  You can make as many copies as you want as long as it is for YOUR use.  Once that copy leaves your hands it becomes illegal.

You can get a CD Burner, but I would suggest a DVD burner since it does both CD's and DVD's and it costs about $30 more.

Have you checked if you've selected the correct drive where the CD is located? Did you know that you can also burn CDs using other softwares such as Nero, Roxio easy CD/DVD, RealPlayer (free download), etc........  Get a DVD burner, you can burn both CD and DVD's.

It may be because it does not support those types of Cd's. I have seen where some players will not play burnt Cd's from computers. I don't know why?? but they are just not compatible and wont play.

They are correct about burning an ISO to a cd... that is usually how people work with ISO files.  They are an "image" or almost exact copy of a disc that is meant to be burned.\n\nOn the other hand, I often times want to open an ISO file without actually burning the cd so I use a program called Daemon Tools.  When you click on the Daemon Tools icon you tell it to "mount" or open an ISO image and it then treats it as a drive. It's like adding an additional CD/DVD-ROM drive to your computer under My Computer, but instead it loads and accesses the contents of the ISO file.\n\nIf this sounds interesting to you, you might try Daemon Tools at http://www.daemon-tools.cc\n\nIt looks like they released a new version recently, too.

The format is not a CD format. If you are going to burn a game, make sure the game format is correct, and burn it on a DVD. As well, burn at the slowest speed. You may need a mod-chip installed for some games.

Downloading illegally is a crime and is theft.  Yes, it is a sin.\n\nThe people who created those movies, songs, and software own the rights.  By making illegal copies you are stealing from them.  You are literally picking their pockets.

Using a combo of programs (i.e. anydvd & DVD Clone or DVD shrink & nero) it is easy to make a "backup of your own property and/or DVDs” it is illegal to reproduce copyright material w/o permission\n\nthese are free programs or programs you can get for less then $30

CD-r burns on the bottom of the disk, where a CD+R burns on the top.  There is really no difference in terms of use.
