• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

For the job I'm working right now, I'm required to capture media on a different computer than the one I edit on at home. When I do, I capture all the media to my external hard drive, which is set up as a back-up scratch disc on my main computer.

Now my question is, when I get to my computer, and hook up my external, how would I go about moving all the captured data from my external (the secondary, back-up scratch disc) to my main scratch disc on MacPro? Is it as simple as copying and pasting the files between individual the "Capture Scratch" folders?

You don't even need to copy and paste. First just open up both drives in finder, drag from one to the other (it will copy it unless you say otherwise), then open up FCP and import those files and set your scratch discs.

You are now good to go.
