I want to purchase a DVD recorder for Amiga but I don't know if the DVD recorders from pcs are suitable for Amiga or I must do some operations. Also I will be glad to know if there is software for Amiga to copy DVDs. (Like BurnIt! for CDs). Thanks...


Unless there's been a major change very recently, there's no VOB creation software for the Amiga.  

As to writing data to a DVD drive as you would a CDRW, that depends on BurnIt!'s ability to recognize the drive as a writable one.

You could probably find deCSS' source somewhere and recompile it for the Amiga to use to remove DVD protection and go from there once you've overcome the basic problem of DVDRW support in whatever Amiga you're using.

Also, if you plan on taking, say, a large .IFF anim and encoding it as an MPEG-2 stream for DV, on the Amiga, forget about it.  Even middlin' end PCs (900+ mhz) take hours to compress the videos.

The mind boggles at what a 33mhz 040, or even a 150mhz (cacheless) PPC would take.
Back away from the EU-SSR!
