how does it come out and can they be played on any player?
First the software.... dvd x-copy is the easiest one to use. It does flash a 5 sec screen at the beginning of the movie, warning it's a copy, so if you want to try and bootleg, that is not the way to go.
In that case you would have to use software such as DVD decrypter, or DVD shrink.
Next is the media. there is +R and -R blank dvd's. Some recorders can only record on 1 or the other, some can record on both.
Now the tricky part. If you want to play a copy DVD in your computer, allmost any media brand or style (+ or - R) will work. HOWEVER, ,,,
not all dvd-r media will play in home dvd players. It gets real tricky. Some brand dvd's will work in one player, and not the other.
Some of the cheapest dvd players like the APEX will play anything you throw in it!!!!
To make it easy to figure out. the site listed below has a listing of allmost every dvd media, and home dvd player, and charts to show what works and what does not.

im so stupid, they offered me a job, pre-ipo with a shitload of shares. I ended up taking this other job, that ended up in a dead-end. Meanwhile, netflix stock has totally taken off. Id be a millionaire many times over at this point.
