also when you put the disk in your pc it should ask you what you want to do, does it not say copy folder to harddrive? if not, do what i said earlier.

Answer 5

You'll need a DVD drive that reads that DVD format, whether it's a 4.7 GB or 8.5 GB Dual Layer DVD.  Not all DVD drives can read all DVD formats.

Answer 6

There is free software called handbrake that you can download.  It converts DVDs (as well as other media files already on laptop) to MP4 which you can then watch on laptop or even on your ipod.

I use it a lot to transfer films I've recorded onto DVD from TV to MP4 to watch on planes/trains.

Answer 7

You just simply take the disc and slip it into the disc drive of your computer and copy and paste the contents of the DVD onto your hard drive.

If that does not work then your disc drive might be a compact disc (cd) drive and not a DVD drive but most computers come with a DVD drive anyway.

Answer 8

Have you tried putting it in your PC's DVD drive and copying the contents to a folder on your hard disk?

Please elaborate.
