I'm already burning DVDs with my Pioneer A05. You may find DVD writers will be come less expensive, but you can't make a direct DVD to DVD-R copy. This has nothing to do with encryption. It has to do with limitations of the disc. DVD-R discs are only single layer, so they can't hold as much data as the original disc.
Yes you can (make copy for copy) depending on size. Certain programs will also compress the movie (not encode) to make them fit. The older the movie the more likely you are going to be able to make a perfect clone of the movie on a single disc. Even newer movies can be done with out as much as a hint that they are not the original, just takes practice. As for the expensive DVD media, only in stores is it still expensive, on the net you can find them for as little as 80 cents US a piece, when bought in bulk (50/100/500). Preferred media of choice for me is Ritek, all silver on top and a dark purple dye, they work great.
