can you copy music and movies to it from your PC?

Yes. Keep in mind that it has small (by current standards) memory and some of that is taken up by the Android operating system. It does have a micro-SD slot that can accommodate up to a 32 gig micro SD card for additional storage. Mine was great for a intro to Android tablets and still works just fine. One thing I particularly liked was the IR transmitter that allows me to use it as a remote consolidated remote control for my TV's, blue ray players, DVD players, and Roku. However, I recently upgraded to a 10" Asus tablet with 32GB storage and a removeable keyboard which runs Androidversion 4.2. The Visio seems to be a bit of an orphan regarding operating system upgrades.

I would like to know this too! I have a ton of movies on my computer, and I would like something that can play them on the TV.

Install included software HD writer so you can transfer video files to PC then use editing software such as Corel video studio pro X3 to make your movie

no I just transfer my movie from my computer to a usb flash drive and insert that into the usb port of the media player

The short answer is no. The files are encrypted & locked to the specific receiver so they can't be copied. The longer answer is yes, but not exactly what you're thinking. If you have a video capture device, you could play them back and capture them as video files on a computer. There are a few video capture devices that have component input and can do this. It can't be done via any HDMI device I've seen because it would violate the copy protection rules of HDMI. Down side is you have to play the shows back to transfer them to computer via the capture device. There is no other way. Slow, cumbersome, & you can't watch anything else while playing the shows back to capture them as PC files. Yes you could do it, but its not worth the time, effort, & expense.

Actually I can copy something to a disk, but I haven't tried to watch movies on this drive. The only thing is sometimes it just can be recognized by my laptop. And I have to try several times to make it to be recognized.

You can just do this on your computer, I forget exactly what I use, it is a free Windows app (media player?), but there are several out there.

Yes you can. The USB interface works quite well. I've tried AVI and MP4 files without issue.

No. You must use a software program on your PC to accomplish that. I've had great luck with ISpy and it's free.
1957047
yes of course you can. On my computer I have media player. I create all my lists there and down load them to the mp3 I want. Each one is tweaked differently for what I am doing.
903262
Yes you can play movies through the USB connection. In fact, you can connect a PC to the television and play them right from your PC.

We have only used this device to copy audio files from one disc to another. I am not aware that it can copy files directly from a pc.

You can make playlists on windows media player and transfer them or you can hold one "go-list" which is basically a playlist made away from a computer.

I don't see any problem, if you can copy files, video or jpg as long as it's in your computer then you do what you want

I don't know. I put everything on my windows media player and copy it from there.

I don't know but would assume you could export out of iTunes to the target drive of your choice

You can * burn it to a disc * copy it to a jump/usb drive * if your computers are networked you can access it from your laptop * failing the above, you can download it to your laptop
