Not disagreeing with the above that "Videos" is a better destination..
mytharchive (archive to file) is an excellent way to move a number of
recordings to another box, you don't lose any info (metadata/seektable
etc). You can export en masse.

The downsides:
- import from archives only possible one at at time
- "Videos" does not support mytharchive format.
- have to import into "recordings"
