External electronic storage media are now very convenient: they allow you to save free space on computer disks, create backup copies of information and protect it. These devices include flash cards, hard drives, and CDs. But in order to keep the movie burned to disk, it is better to copy it to the hard disk.
Instructions
Step 1
Insert the movie CD into the drive. Wait for the disc to autorun or open it using Explorer or My Computer.
Step 2
Open the contents of the disc, but do not play the video. Copy the movie by right-clicking on its shortcut. In the context menu that opens, select the "Copy" function. Open your movie folder on your computer, or just go to your desktop for easy copying. Click on the right mouse button and select the "Paste" task in the function window. Copying the movie from the CD to the computer memory starts.
Step 3
When the download is complete, remove the movie disc from the drive. Insert an external hard drive into the USB port of your computer. If necessary, check it for viruses, then open the device.
Step 4
Open the folder with the saved movie. Copy it as you copied it from disk. Go to the folder on the external hard drive and right-click. Select "Paste" from the context menu. Wait for copying to finish.
Step 5
If your computer is powerful enough, save the download time to an external hard drive. You can insert a CD into the drive and a hard disk into the USB port of your computer at the same time. Open My Computer. Wait for the system to recognize both external devices.
Step 6
Open the folders of the movie CD and external hard drive. Drag the movie from one folder to another by holding it with the left mouse button, or use the "Copy" - "Paste" function. In this case, the video will be recorded immediately to the hard disk without the participation of computer memory.
