You can't exactly "burn" to your computer, but you can make images of the disks(ISO's and what not) It really depends on the software settings and what not.
Burning a dvd either takes some form of data or file from a hard drive and burns in one form or another to disk or you can now burn live feed directly to dvd depending on the recorder used. Copying a dvd requires using a dvd recorder to go from disk to disk or placing a dvd in a drive and making an image of the disk to reproduce it by burning that to a blank dvd-r.
For data dvds you use a writing program that uses an explorer to drag files and folders into a window generally seen as a dvd project. For video a burning software will convert one file into separate segments for burn for a final write to disk.

The word Burn is meant to mean to a DVD or CD disk but you can copy a DVD to the computers harddrive but that done magnectically
so a DVDR RW Burner can put the unencrypted DVD on the HDD, copy from DVD to a blank DVD, play CDs, play DVDs, burn files to a disk, and copy games from CD to CD?
can it do all these things? such as this one for example

1) A dvd-r/rw drive can copy files that are not encrypted from a dvd to the hard drive. Likewise a dvd ROM type drive(Read Only) can also copy non encrpyted files from a dvd to the hard drive too.
2) You can buy a dvd recorder even in retail stores that will copy files from one dvd to a new blank dvd disk. Likewise a dvd writer(pc) can also be used by a software to create an image of an existing dvd disk and write the files there to another blank dvd. The drive can also be used to play audio cds as well as dvd disks with movies and video files on them.
3) You are not authorized to duplicate previously copyright protected materials(pc games, dvd movies, softwares, etc.) from a commercially released dvd disk to a blank dvd. And discussion on how to do that is not allowed here. Please read forum rules.

The drive is capable according to the software or softwares used. I was simply pointing out that certain subjects have to left untouched. What a drive is is the mechanics while the software used is the controller according to what you are trying to do at the time. Due to the size limits on cd-rs backing a hard drive with data dvds due to the 4.2gb of space available there well outdoes the some 712-714mb max seen when burning a cd-r.
Vcds will see just over an hour for your camcorder favorites while recording an event like a wedding with the total seeing some 3hr. 10min. just fitting on a dvd. In most cases there you first use a video capture device to record the video feed from the camcorder playback to capture into mpeg II format. Once the video footage there is a file on the hard drive you can now burn that to dvd. This is only example for a video dvd.
