You will not be able to duplicate a DVD movie using the CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive. Most movies are encrypted and copyright protected. In order to listen to audio CDs using your CD-ROM or CD-RW/DVD-ROM, you must connect the drive to your sound card using a special audio cable. Most sound cards only provide one audio cable connection; therefore only one of your drives can be connected to the sound card. See similar questions...
