for example can i play movies directly from the hard drive or do i have to copy the movie files onto the computer first and play it from there.
Answer
You can do almost anything on a portable hard drive. You have to install the program to your portable hard drive, or use portable applications (found at http://portableapps.com/) to ensure that, should the installer save paths in registry keys or configuration files, they point to the right place, and not to a non-existant location on your hard drive where the files used to be.
However, you must make sure that when you want to use a program/file, your hard drive must be connected to your computer for the duration of the use, and that, unless your portable hard drive is plugged in 24/7, it will not be an on-demand, ready to go experience.
Also, USB read/write speeds will be a bottleneck, so I wouldn't recommend running any games off of a hard drive. Playing movies is usually okay because most modern video players buffer the video quite a bit, and therefore allow for a smooth show.

How can I copy DVD movies on to my hard drive so I can in turn copy them to my hand held video player?
Lovr
I know there are tons of expensive software that can do this but is there a free way to burn the DVD onto my hard drive so I can simply move/copy the .divx, .mpeg or .avi to my Player?
