No, as long as the copy you are making is for your own use.

It is only illegal to burn dvd's and sell them to make a profit. If you are using them for your personal use (like watching them at home), it is legal.

The law may say it's illegal to burn movies to dvd-r but think about it if it were illegal, wouldn't they have banned dvd-r's by now ? isn't that what dvd-rs are for ? sure they're for backing up home videos but who makes home videos today ? It's perfectly fine to burn to a dvd-R as thats what they are there for. I'm not saying i support piracy, i don't but if there's a movie you want that you can't get at the store or just don't have the money to get then by all means retrieve it. It's every man for himself in todays age :)

Without approval from the person who made the DVD, yes, but that doesn't stop most people from doing it anyway.

What kind of DVD do you need to burn videos?

Dvd-r or DVD+r are the most common types of dvds you can use to burn your own videos onto, you can also use a dvdrw which is a rewritable DVD, a dvdr usually says it can hold 4.7gbs of data, but in reallity it only holds just about 4.5gbs after formatting, most ripping software will also rip a dual layer DVD to a compressed rate of about 4.36gbs, so as to accommodate for the finished files to be able to fit on a dvdr, the best dvdr for me is a DVD-r, minus r dvds burn and work better in standalone DVD players as well as in computers, and most DVD burners these days are fully compatible with them, so your best bet is to get yourself some DVD-r's and start the burning, have fun.
