Help me with recording DVD problem

[News]

Hey Guys,

I got a problem when I use all in wonder 128 pro recording DVD from DVD
player. When I recording DVDs, I can watch them on monitor correctly, but
when I playback the MPEG files, it only shows first a few frames, I mean the
video isn't continuous but the audio is ok.
I use all in wonder 128 pro 32mb AGP4x, SIS746 motherborad, AMD2100+ CPU,
ATI Mediacenter 7.2, I want to record normal MPEG-1 files for VCD.
I have recorded Comcorders and TVs without any problem. Only the DVDs can't
be able to record. I've tried SONY and PIONEER DVD players, I got the same
problem.
Is there anybody knows WHY???
And How to record DVDs?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Jerry

why would you want to convert a digital source to analog and then back to
digital?!
its faster, easier and better quality to get a DVD drive in your computer
and rip.

Answer to your first question: sounds a lot like some sort of copy
protection.
