I have my collection already copied and burned to dvd and I would like to copy the collection to a hdd. How to begin? I also am interested in some sort of menu program to organize the collection..........Thank-You
Assuming the copy protection is removed you can drag n drop, however to save space you may want to use dvdshrink or such like to only copy the titles that you want including using shrinks cut front & end frames (remove intro & outro) ,if not then at the least use menu shrink on the whole dvd & delete the menushrink backup folder that it creates (removes the animation crap from menu it can save a stack of space),personally i'd rather convert the dvd titles to mkv with vidcoder this will save the best amount of space & at the same time enable you to load multiple movies in the movie player & play one after the other or,
before i continue i suggest installing
