Been doing this for awhile and you can easily watch the file on vlc. haven't tried other players so experiment. You cannot, however, copy onto a stock blank dvd (it's too small). Like the old days of ripping CD to preserve the original disk this is the same concept. Watch the file and preserve the DVD. Local laws apply ofc. hih, fred
