copying dvds why ?

[cobrauk]

hi can anying tell me why when recording from my dvd player to my dvd recorder it reads all the dvd before writing it , why will it not burn directly from one to the other as cd's do ?,if the answer is (thats the way its done ) then i might as well replace my dvd player with my fast cd writer, as my nec nd-1300 is so slow for burning cd's
cheers

which software are you dealing with?
copying the data might be the tools way of overcoming copy-protection!?

what kind of data are you trying to burn on the fly?
