You can only get an exact duplicate if you either A. have DVDXCOPY and it makes 2 DVD5's, or you have a dual layer burner, and dual layer media to fit the entire DVD onto a -/+R disc.

That would be excellent. Especially if they had dual layer DVDAudio. 8.5GB of music...and to my knowledge, AC3 audio's compression vs quality is pretty good; the TV shows I recompress are done so with AC3, 256kbps, and it sounds just fine. Drop that down to 160kbps (car stereo system, plus background noise - won't need optimal quality music anyway), and that's a helluva lot of music on one disc.The best thing that can ever happen to DVDs is mainstream adoption of DVDAudio (especially for cars).

Many people have a netflix or blockbuster subscription and "rent to steal." This seem silly to me since if I want to watch a movie again in 6 months I can always just rent it again. With netflix unlimited rentals it doesn't cost me anything extra.
Why spend hundreds of hours and hundreds of dollars to amass a library of inferior copies of movies on fragile DVD-Rs? Spend the money on a better graphics card, some good games, etc.
Now if you have a pile of family movies on tape, or have masses of data files to back up, then a DVD burner makes sense.
For which brand, search "DVD" here.
For what software, search "DVD" in the Software forum.

Only you know if you should get one. I don't backup my dvd nor do i use them a lot, so i have a conventional burner.
Just think if you are really going to use it, and if the answer is yes, wait for a more experienced member to let you know wich one fits your needs
