Backing up DVDs with a Philips DR75
Does anyone know if it is possible to make a backup copy of a DVD film using one of the Philips DVD recorders such as a DR75? Can I connect a laptop to the recorder and record what the laptop is playing?

Anythings possible really but you'll lose some of the DVD quality.
If you have a TV-Out facility on your lappy, you simply hook it up to the telly and record with the Philips as you would normally do.
This is how a lot of multi 'home movies' are made, squeezing up to 6 hours video onto a disk, using the long play feature.
For all a burner and external enclosure would cost (£110), you might consider this as a more straight forward option.

I presume that I would loose the 5.1 surround when doing a backup this way?
Been thinking about just getting an external burner, I use a Mac so maybe the Lacie firewire is the way to go.

Yes, you would only salvage stereo audio this way...not much use.
Most external enclosures cater for both USB and firewire.
£26.50 is the going rate. Mail me if i can be of any help.
