burning DVD copies?

24.22.43.196

Pardon my ignorance, but can someone summarize for me if it is legal to make DVD copies of (DVD)movies for my personal use? In my line of thinking it must be similar to burning an audio music CD.

I was considering buying an outboard USB drive Plextor DVD burner to burn audio and dvd copies for my personal use. A friend said don't waste my money because all the dvd's are copy protected and can't be recorded and burned. WHAT? Isn't that a primary reason why they make DVD burners? Why else would you want a dvd burner?

Assuming it is legit, is there a prefered software to best work through this? Anything similar to the great EAC? I have a modern PC with xp pro, tons of memory and hard disk space.

Thanks,
Kenreau
