Transferring files from a computer's hard drive to a DVD can offer a number of benefits. It can serve as an easy way to back up valuable data that could be lost if the computer's hard drive fails, and copying files to a DVD makes the information easily portable for use on several computers. Transferring files from a computer to a DVD is a simple, straightforward process.
