I'm not sure what you want achieve ,
To copy the (home-made) DVD in the DVD-ROM drive to a blabk DVD-RW disc in the

attach to host (real) DVD drive in

OK - so in V'box settings for CD/DVD, I select, say, the DVD-RW drive in the
'host' option.
Then, after booting V'box-WinXP, under Devices I select DVD-ROM.
But, the Windows copy program only sees the drive selected in Settings,; it
can't see the DVD-ROM drive.
Whatever I do with Devices and Settings, it never gets to see both drives.
Hence my question: Does V'box allow both drives to be seen?
I don't know why you are talking about two drives ?
Host has one (physical) DVD-ROM/RW - drive . Right ?
And you can tell VirtualBox to attach that drive to virtual machine or
attach iso image .
In my version of VBox 2.2.2 in CD/DVD settings section there is
checkbox "Enable passthrough" is should be enabled if you want
use host drive as writer . One moment . There is information that
writing audio (possibly video ) streams in VM machine is currently not
supported - it may be your problem :-) I don't know if it is implemented
in newer version of VBox .
I've never tried that because I always do it on host (Linux :-)
Using which program? (k3b, brasero?)
In fact I use wodim (previously cdrecord ) , I use it to write iso
filesystems rather than audio / video streams , but man page says that
it is possible :-).
I'm not expert in that field but to read video stream from DVD you need
program may be simply mplayer cope with that especially if it is homemade
no encryption envoled .
