backing up dvds with dvd/hd set top box ?

[laz]

Hi,
one of my friends is looking at getting one of the new pioneer dvdr/HD set
top boxes
he will use it mainly to copy tv and foxtel shows
but he has been told that you can copy dvd movies from the dvd drive to the
Hd and then copy them onto a new blank dvdr
i tohught that the macrovison would stop this ?

i use my pc and pioneer 106D to backup any movies i need to
(dvd dvd decryptor and dvdshrink)
(so the kids can't scratch their original cartoon dvds)

but he wants an easier method

Macrovision isn't your problem, but CSS...

123 Copy DVD is the easiest software to use. It's just one program,
and it decrypts and compresses as well as actually burning the DVD.
There are three buttons to press in the program. It just doesn't get
any easier. It's on Download.com.
