Ja

My new laptop has no drive, but I would like to convert my old DVDs with the old one so that I can then access the content on the new one. What's the easiest way?

Co

Connect an external DVD burner.

Ja

Can't you pull the files on a stick through the internal drive of my old laptop?

Co

Yes you can, and then just put the stick in the new one.

Ja

Have tried it and most DVDs have copy protection. Apparently I have to buy an external drive especially for this and drag the DVDs with me forever

Co

So I can burn any DVD with me without problems. Depends on the program and also on the burner itself.

Ba

External USB drive and ready 🤷♂️

Ba

It just doesn't work so

Co

What is not working?

Ba

That really takes time to archive that! Save yourself. You don't have to carry hundreds with you 😉

Ba

Just pull from dvd to stick

Co

Copy DVD to PC and then to USB is very easy and with any DVD

Ba

Not if they have copy protection 🤷♂️. Then nothing copy & paste. Then you have to have a program that cracks it 😈

Co

Yes, that's clear

Ba

Nothing is clear there. Not everyone has the programs and they are banned in Germany 🤷♂️

Co

Everyone can buy the programs without any problems. Just because what is prohibited is far from unclear. You know how it works.

Ba

You can't buy it in Germany, at least not legally. So far so good 😉

Co

But you can. Most are even German pages with .de at the end

Ba

Then believe what you think 😉

Ba

I also have such a program at home. But at least I know what I'm allowed to do and what not 😉.

Co

Apparently not, if it is for private use and you bought the DVD you burned, then it is very well allowed.
