A flash drive is a compact, portable hard drive useful for storing files.
A digital video recorder stores video on a hard drive in a similar manner to that of a computer's hard drive. To copy the contents from the DVR to a portable flash drive, first copy the file from the DVR's hard drive to the computer's hard drive. The procedure requires the use of a digital transfer box, of which there are a number designed primarily for transferring videotape to a computer--for example, the Roxio Easy VHS to DVD or the iON Audio VCR 2PC. All the needed software for the computer is included with the digital transfer box, and the process will not negatively affect the DVR in any way.
