DVD 5.1 Recording Questions & More
Are there any stand alone DVD recorders that allow you to record 5.1 sound or is this impossible currently because US law prohibits this? I know you can record 5.1 sound on computer DVD burners but am not sure on stand alone recorders. Can someone give me some background into this.
As an aside, you guys know & I know that you can't copy most DVD's on recorders (without doing online research), but I'm puzzled by the following & would appreciate someone answering this as best you can:
1. Why do manufacturers of Stand Alone DVD Recorders not inform the consumer upfront that their recorder does not allow recording of most DVDs & why hasn't this resulted in any class action lawsuits?
2. How is a free software program like DVD Shrink allowed to remain online as apparently this type of software can not be commercially sold?
Thanks for any explanations as I'm curious what the answers are.
Out of Curiosity What Are Their Names?
While I'm quite happy with DVD Shrink, unfortunately this Forum's policy is that we are not suppose to discuss specifics of things like that, which is cool but I'm curious of the software name's/titles that has been sold in stores as I was told that these things weren't being carried in retail outlets for legal reasons.
I thought that was ordered out of the market

I'm happy with DVD Shrink, just trying to get some background on all this stuff as I may eventually try to put out a guide. I'm still not clear if you can get in legal trouble for writing in a book sources of beating The Man like DVD Shrink, etc. without actually doing it yourself or furnishing the finished product- i.e. giving people information where they can order
protection free DVD recorders, software, etc. without actually selling the stuff myself or making any money off what they buy. Any thoughts? My thoughts are its not worth the trouble.
