Transferring Information From Your Devices SD Card To DVD

By Doris Rivas


If you have a camera, video camera or a cell phone, they all have Secure Digital cards that hold a variety of things such as videos, music, photos and other files that are of importance to you. These cards come in sizes 1 gigabyte up to 2 terabytes. These files more than likely will need to be transferred from your SD card to DVD because even though the cards are convenient often you want them on something more permanent.

So, despite their convenience, these small storage devices are small enough to get lost or you could accidentally erase files before you get them stored more permanently. So if you want to transfer them to your computer or burn them, you will need to know how to do so, if you do not know already.

If this is something that is new to you and you are afraid you might do something wrong in the transfer process, do not worry, there really is no reason to be afraid of doing something wrong. It really is a very simple procedure and you will be able to transfer your files quickly and easily.

The first thing you are going to want to do is to take a DVD and put it in your computer in the slot that it needs to go in. Then next is to take the SD card and put it in the SD slot that you will find on your computer as well. If you don't have this kind of a slot in your computer you can use an external reader and attach that to your computer. However, most newer computers will have their own built in readers for you to use.

Go to the start up menu and click on Computer. You will find this at the bottom left hand corner of your monitor. Once you have done this click on the word Computer. This is found in your start up menu.

After this is done you now will go and double click on the icon for SD memory cards. This can be found under Devices With Removable Storage option. Now you will be able to see all of the files stored on any of your storage cards.

After you have found the different files, you will want to pick the files you want to transfer. You do this by holding down on the control button as you click on the files you want to transfer over. This will highlight all the files on your list. Put your mouse on any one of the highlighted files and then right click on a file and a menu will pop up. From that menu, pick the word Copy and click on it.

After this has been done you will want to click on the Back button on your computer to return to the menu that has the word Computer on the list and then find the icon for the DVD drive and right click so you can pick from that menu the word Paste. Just wait for the computer to do the rest of the work of transferring your files. Once done you will need to click on Burn and your files will will be burned from SD card to DVD, and that is it.
