It depends on what quality and format you wish to record. I often record my dvd's onto sony 8mm tape to take on trips with me on a walkman video unit I have. Most of the time the recording is must fine. Sometimes, the macrovision messes it up by interspersing a darkening scene for a few seconds among the normal lighted scenes. This is really on a case-by-case basis. Now if you dupe over to vhs, you might have more problems but there are aftermarket gadgets that will supposedly remove macrovision (for vhs to vhs, but may work with dvd to vhs). If you are trying to maintin the high quality of dvd, then you should probably do as the other writer suggested and record off of satellite to a high quality format (I will occasionally do this with SVHS with good results in general from directtv). I don't know about trying to cut a cdrom directly but given the various issues of copyright, costs of discs,etc, why not just buy the dvd for $20 or rent it a couple of times.
