DVD copying is not as easy as duplicating CDs, where you can drag and drop files to the CD drive containing the blank disk and just wait for the computer to do the copying. Of course, copying CDs is frowned upon in the copyright laws in many countries but for some purposes, it is perfectly legal to duplicate copyrighted works. The same applies to DVD copying: you may make copies for some specific purposes. Aside from possible copyright law violation, you also need to consider other issues in DVD duplication: encryption, encoding options, software to use and recording media.

But the 1394 Trade Association announced last week that a new, so-called “FireWire S32,” specification will allow data transfers at much higher speeds.
