Copy of homemade DVD to the internal hard drive of my PC
jacou63170 Posted messages 18 Status Membre -
Hello,
A few years ago, I burned videos onto DVDs using my Asus PC. When it was replaced by an Aspire 315 from ACER, I realized that I had lost a whole folder of videos. My question is: How can I copy the DVDs I have onto the hard drive of my new PC?
I have the up-to-date VLC media software.
If I need to use an external drive for my PC, which one would you recommend I buy to do this?
Thank you in advance for your response.

Hello,
Indeed, if your new PC doesn't have a built-in drive (which seems to be the case), you'll need to use an external drive connected via USB. You can find them at all multimedia retailers (starting from around €20). If it's for occasional use, you can get just about any of them, but for more regular use (or if you have a lot of DVDs), it's better to go for a reputable brand.
→ Example this Asus seems to have a decent quality/price ratio.
Then, if it's DVDs you burned yourself, a simple copy-paste from Windows Explorer should work.
Best regards.
Thank you for this response, does this SDRW-08D2S device require special software to operate, can I copy the content of my DVD to my Windows 11 PC using VLC and how do I do it? Thank you.
T3chN0g3n: when I connect my DVD player, I get a screen saying "OOPS! your version does not support this function,,,,???? What does that mean?
Hello,
What types of files are on the DVD?
Are there folders?
With additional details inside, if more clarification is needed?
If it's a recent Windows version with the PC drivers, it should work in principle.
The drive just needs to be plugged in and used (Plug & Play)
I would like to reply to you, but unfortunately, I don't understand anything!
Thank you anyway for wanting to help me

I told you that I discovered with the delivery of the reader a disk containing:
- Power 2GO 8
- Power Backup 2.6
- Nero backup
- E green
- PowerBackup 2.6
Thank you for your help
Hello,
Power 2GO 2.6 means: Power2Go is an all-in-one simple solution for all your disc burning, movie disc creation, media conversion, and backup needs.
With unmatched support for a wide range of disc and mobile formats, you can drag and drop files to instantly burn data or movies.
These are the features of the Player.
In addition to my earlier comment, I just looked at this story about the numbers behind the video; indeed, behind Video TS VOB there are 140366 KB and behind VTS-01-1.VOB, there are 1048574 KB. What can we conclude from this, and what should we do with these numbers?

Hello, you will need to convert your DVDs to another format. The old ones use Handbrake, follow the tutorial; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODFV9sd1vTk and also this one; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgjiDFNPuN4
A tutorial is better than a speech

Please remember to put "resolved" on your message if that's the case
Hello,
That's the one I gave you as an example, so yes, it will be suitable!
