DVD Movie Files
To copy the movie files from DVD to the Mobile Video HDD, insert the DVD disc into
computer’s optical drive, go to “My Computer” and browse the disc.
Open the “VIDEO_TS”, you will see many files. Create a folder with the name of the movie
in the Mobile Video HDD, and then copy the “VIDEO_TS” folder into the folder just created.
Some DVD discs can’t be copied because they have been protected (with the CSS
protection). To backup the protected DVD, use a “DVD rip” program to copy the files. There
are many free rip programs such as DVD Decrypter that can be found from the Internet.
Please respect the copyright, do not copy the DVD and share with other people.
