I recently attempted to copy DVD movies that I rented, but none of them came out well, whether it was the functionality of the menus or the brightness. What am I doing wrong?

Duplicating copyrighted material is illegal. If an attempt to duplicate copy-protected material is made, the DMR-E20 may display an on-screen message: ” Copy Guard Applied” and the deck will not go into the record mode. With that established, most DVDs use a technology called Macrovision which prevents DVDs from being copied. The varying brightness is a visible effect of Macrovision doing what it is designed to do. If Macrovision is not used, in theory you can copy the DVD. However, since the copy is only transferring the audio and video portions of the disk, interactive menu features would not be copied.
