I need some help from those of you who have lived in Japan for more than 5 years of your life, preferably those of you (if any? 
) who are over the age of 50. But the youth will do just fine, too.
There's a nice Japanese grandma I met a few weeks back at this one mom-n-pop store. We are now on a talking basis (in Japanese) and the last time I saw her she even gifted me a Japanese mystery novel and a Japanese manga. I have learned from our conversations that she loves Japanese history and that she loves to watch period dramas. We even spent half an hour talking about Oda Nobunaga one time! So I want to repay her kindness with a gift of my own ...
I want to burn some Japanese dramas to DVD+R for her to watch. I was thinking of burning the first episodes of 華麗なる一族 (???, 2007), 義経 (NHK, 2005), and 篤姫 (NHK, 2008) to a single DVD+R for her and to then show up next week and ask her which, if any, of them she'd like to see more of.
Thing is, before I do this, I want to know what the typical attitude towards burning television rips to DVD is amongst the Japanese elderly. Is it a "hey, so long as you're not selling them or burning kajillions of them, it's fine by me" sort of attitude? (like in America?) Or do they take the moral high ground and frown upon this sort of thing, even when it's meant to be a gift? :|
