    How do I upload a TV programe recorded on a DVD into my hard drive?
    I recorded a TV show onto a DVD via my recordable DVD player. How do I upload it into my hardrive so I can play & view it through my computer?
    I have tried several free-ware video converters but when I click on the CD drive to access the DVD for upload, the progames I have tried to use won't recognise or read the DVD.
    Any suggestions?

    What format is the show in?

    Can you not copy the file from windows explorer to a folder on your drive?

    CD readers and CD burner/readers can't read anything on a DVD-R, a DVD+R or a DVD-RW. Your drive would need to be a DVD reader, DVD reader/CD burner or DVD burner for that. DVD compatible drives often have the DVD logo on the front. If your drive has a CD logo, but not a DVD logo it might not have any DVD compatibility.

    Are you using a DVD compatible drive and describing it as a CD reader (or burner/reader) in error? If so, can you see the folders and files on the DVD with your file manager ("Explore" or "Open" the disk if you are using Windows)?
