Re: DVD / VHS Combos

I am very aware of the copyright laws and that is what I believe and teach
my child.  (I have authored a lot of software and although I do not make as
much as say the recording industry, I do share their feelings.)  My
intention is to rent a DVD from the neighborhood store, watch it that night
or Copy it to tape to watch at my own leisure.  Then use the tape over
again.  I'm not into movies that much that I have to watch them over and
over and over.....  If I really like a movie, then I'll buy it.  If I want
to own it forever, I might as well have a decent copy to own.

Can I take the DVD and through A/V outputs, plug into a separate VCR and
copy it that way?
