Well, if you have a DVD-RW, you don't need a player, but Lite On makes good players.

You might need a player if you want to copy DVDs

I can rip with either my player or my writer. Doesn't make a difference, result is the same.

That's true, for some reason I was only thinking of on-the-fly copying, which isn't the best thing to do anyway.

I guess for ease, having 2 drives to copy is good. Set the source drive and destination drive and it can do it all itself without having to swap out the discs.
