I don't know if you can take out comercials on a DVR's.

The biggest difference between a DVD with recording capability and a DVR is:

  • A DVR uses a Hard Disk Recorder (HDR) to digitally record movies and television shows from your TV to a hard disk (like the one in your home computer). DVRs record in real-time, which allow you to pause or rewind at any point in the program.
  • A DVD recorder records to discs and not a hard drive like DVR. A disc has limited storage capacity compared to a DVR. It doesn�t have a hard drive or �real-time� recording capability.

There are some DVRs that have built in DVD recorders. Some allow you to burn DVDs while you watch and record television shows and movies on your DVR or simply burn saved shows to your DVD to free up space on your DVR. Check with your local electronics store to see which brand would best suit your needs.

What is a read-write CD-rom?

This was mainly used to distinguish between different kinds of CDs, the (factory manufactored) read-only CDs, the recordable (write once) CDs and the re-writeable CDs.

'Read-Write CD Rom' usually refers to the last kind. Formally it's a misnomer, since ROM (read only memory) would exclude writing, but since CD-ROM was initially the most common kind, many people referred to CDs as CD-ROMs and then added distinguishing modifiers like 'read-write' without realizing the specific meaning of the ROM acronym.

(The same applies to read-write CD-ROM drives, named that way to distinguish them from read-only CD drives.)

If you watch a DVD on your laptop do you use up memory space?

Your computer will load some of the disc into the RAM in order to play the DVD without stuttering. this is perfectly normal.

Is it illegal to create a DVD using videos from you tube like if you wanted to burn the movie the lion king is that legal?

Yes, it is illegal.

The person who uploaded the video is violating copyright, and you are violating copyright in downloading and burning it.

The law against copyright prevents you from *copying* things - ie. uploading them to YouTube, or burning them - without permission. So it does not matter where you get a copy of The Lion King from, if you copy it yourself by burning it without permission of the copyright holder, ie. Disney, you are breaking copyright law.
