I have an old DVD that has many old family images and videos on it. Some of the files are easily dragged and dropped from the DVD to my hard drive. However, others are not. At a certain point, the files just keep copying but never complete. So far, I have been able to drag over 3.GB of files. The remaining amount I am having issue with.
I am using a new MacBook Pro 16 computer that is running on macOS Catalina version 10.15.4. I have 32 GB of Memory and the processor is 2.4 GHz. Everything is the latest.
The following folders I am having a problem with are over a GB.
One folder has old DV movie files. It won't copy over. Even when I try to convert the DVD movie files with the free MP4 Converter app, it won't open the DV Movie files that did indeed copy to my hard drive.
There are many folders that have images too. These I am having a problem copying over as well. When I open the folder from within the DVD, its taking a long time to load the images from within the DVD/Folder.
The DVD itself takes a very long time to show up on my desktop from the external DVD.
Being that many of these images are old family images and videos that have sentimental value, I am hoping there is a way for me to remedy this issue.
Thanks for your help.
Update: I just tried to drag over a folder with images from the DVD to my hard drive with only about 1.5MG on it. It would not copy the images. Only the folder was dragged over. The copying process lasted many minutes. I got the following error after only the folder was dragged over but not the images:
TÀe Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "_DS_Store" can't be read or written.
(Error code -36)
OK
