I am aware it is illegal, and as I stated, "I buy my DVD's". Between my kids (2&4 YR OLDS) and myself we havecollected over 250 titles. I prefer to have covers to organize and protect our discs and will continue to buy dvd's. My kid's just received 6 dvd's through the mail from a club my wife joined. I just wanted to settle a discussion my friend and I had about the quality of burnt DVD's. I told him I believe it's not going to be the same audio/video quality from a $99. burner. Just curious.
