Windows 7: transferring home made dvds to HDD.

Hi,



I have a bunch of DVDs that are home made (weddings, holidays etc). I was wondering how I go about putting a copy of each one onto my Computer hard disk? Do I need special software and is it easy to do it?

thanks.

all you have to do is put the disk in the disk drive, open disk the folder and copy the files you want and paste them in your hard drive

that sounds to easy to be true! thanks for the tip - i thought i would have needed software to do it.

Can anyone tell me what format they will be in? Is it best to convert them to a different type?

what ever format they in right now they will be all the time if you want to play one of your videos or what ever windows media player doesnt support some formats you might want to download VLC player its free. you might have to select the video u want to watch in VLC to do that right click on the video and click open with find VLC and you done.
