I have one notebook and watch all my movies via hdmi cable but I bought an external hd toshiba 500GB and I wanted to know if I can watch my movies from the hd and how I do it?
Be warned, if using a usb 2 drive you may be in for a wait during file copying. I tried to copy some files over to my 320gb western digital(an old classic) and it took an hour or so just for a few gigabytes.
Here's how I do it, I have a external MyPassport 1tb HD and I connect that to my computer and put movies/videos on it and just play them from my external HD. You don't need any special software/hardware, just the movie.
