So I have a lot of video on an external HDD and most of the videos run fine. However, with some during the video it becomes very laggy and skips over some bits. When I have tried moving the files or zipping them, it said process failed because unable to read the video. Is there any way I could easily fix this on the videos. I am on OS X 10.11 and the Hard Drive in question is a 1TB LaCie PorscheDesign Hard drive.

It sounds very much like your hard drive is dying. You should get another similarly sized drive, a copy of Linux a Linux rescue distro and use Gnu DDRescue to [bit] copy as much of the drive as possible. (Start in forward direction till it gives errors, then reverse direction until you run out of time or get everything.
