I believe that there is recent legislation that prevents back-ups of DVDs of any kind. Although I believe that it is ok to back-up your music CDs, DVDd are no longer ok. I will talk with my co-worker tomorrow and see if he has some references pointing to that.

I don't have a DVD to back up, or a dual-layer burner at the moment, I was just thinking how that would allow you to backup your DVD without breaking the DMCA. (At least, I think it would).
