If I buy a DVD Recorder, can I just plug leads into it from a standard DVd
player, and copy a DVD ?
Is it that easy ?

UNLESS that DVD you're trying to copy is copy protected (which is 99.999% of
them). Then you're screwed. No DVD recorder will allow copying from a
copyright source. In fact, DVD recorders won't even allow copying from
certain VHS tapes. The only way you can circumvent it, is to copy them on a
computer.

I'm actually able to play commercial VHS tapes into my Panasonic DVD
recorder. It's 100% factory clean - no region or firmware hacks or
anything like that. No problems with Foxtel either, I've seen some
complaints about people having difficulty recording from the movie
channels due to them broadcasting with Macrovision, but my DVD recorder
doesn't skip a beat.
Maybe it's just luck that the input circuitry happens to thwart
Macrovision? I purchased it from DSE.

The better "video stabilisers" will allow copying of ALL DVDs via composite or
s-video. Anti-copying such as Macrovision is just part of of the video signal
and so can easily be removed.
The only problem now is if you try to copy them using the digital signal sockets
(if your DVD recorder has one). The codes for that have been broken but similar
"stabilisers" are not currently available.
