That depends. What device did you use to record these movies? If you recorded a movie using a DVD recorder, connect your external hard drive to a PC device which has a DVD rom. Go into the files, copy and past the file to your external drive.
I understand by "external device" is that your none of your USB ports work and you can't use your CD/DVD burner
Get a Hard Drive to USB connection, they are cheap and you can get one in any computer store, remove your HARD DRIVE from your Compaq and connect it through USB to your new computer. You can copy all your data and still continue using your old herd drive as an external drive.
Test the disc by using the command prompt to copy
files
loadTOCNode(2, 'whattotry');
Try to copy files from the disc to the hard disk.
If the hard disk cannot copy files, the disc might be damaged. If the
files are copied successfully, there may be file types on the disc that
the hard disk cannot read, or there may be a problem with the CD or DVD
drive.
To test the disc by using a command prompt to copy files,
follow these steps:
Create a test folder on the hard disk, and then give the folder
a folder name such as "cdtest." This is the folder to which you will
try to copy files.
Click Start,
and then click Run.
Copy and
paste (or type) cmd in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
Copy
the files from the CD or DVD drive to the test folder on the hard disk.
To do this, type xcopy DiscDrive:\*.*
HardDiskDrive:\cdtest /v /e at the command prompt,
and then press ENTER. Make sure that you replace “cdtest” with the name
of your test folder.
Note In this step, DiscDrive is the drive
letter of the CD or DVD drive with which you have problems. HardDiskDrive
is the drive letter of the hard disk drive to which you want to copy
these files.
If you are asked whether cdtest specifies a
file name or a directory name, press F.
If you successfully
copied the files from the disc to the hard disk, the disc is not
damaged. To remove the copied files, type rd /s
cdtest at the command prompt, and then press ENTER.
If you
cannot copy the files, the disc may be damaged. Contact the
manufacturer of the damaged disc to obtain a replacement.
you can do one thing remove the hard drive from the casing and put on some other casing then check, if the problem is the same then its the problem of hard disk
You need to check that with blank DVD's you are using compatible with your drive.Because the DVD's may work with your extranal drive but not with your builting drive. If this doen't slove the problem I would recommend using a different burning software other than "sonic record now" and "vista o/s Built-in dvd burner".
look for an option in the DVD menu for dubbing this means to copy contents to hdd (usually cannot do it with copy protected discs but will be ok with a disc you made yourself)
First off is the drive a read only drive or a Read/write drive? If you look at the front drawer check to see if there is a big RW(read/writable) on the front of the drawer. If it doesn't have the RW then you won't be able to burn discs. If it says RW then you will be able use it to copy DVDs. You accomplish this by using software to copy the disc you're interested in to your hard drive and then using the copy on the hard disc to copy back to a blank recordable DVD placed in to tray.
both are just the same features just to write file from your hard drive. Maybe your point is you want the video from your VHS tapes will transfer to your hard drive. The only way to copy the video from your VHS is you need an external VHS player at the same time it will record the running video to a soft copy.
