Hey all, Thanks in advance for any knowledge! I'm just curious, could I take a show I saved on my dvr (time warner) and somehow download it to my pc? If so what typoe of file is it? avi? Sincerely Buzz
Do you want to download directly from the DVR to the PC, rather than burning a DVD (if your DVR also has DVD recording ablity) and then reading that DVD on your PC? I don't know anything about the Time Warner. My Panasonic DVR can burn DVD's and my PC is in a separate room, so that's the route I usually take. Both units accept DVD RAM disks (that can be rewritten) hence I don't have to waste DVD's to make the transfer. If your unit has similar capability, you'll be OK. I expect that using a direct connection depends on your PC configuration. If you have a video capture card on your PC, you probably could take the DVR output (SVHS? Composite? TV RF?) and cable it to your capture card input (along with audio connectors).
