EASY way to TRANSFER movies from HD DVR to PC hard drive ????? - GoFuckYourself.com

OzMan · 02-06-2007, 08:05 PM

I want to be able to transfer recorded TV programs from my DVR to my PC for later viewing/burning/editing.

I don't want to wirelessly stream to my PC via a home network or whatever.

I don't want to have to recapture the video with a tuner card as this will be slow as shit and reduce quality.

I don't want to have to remove the DVR hard drive and fuck around with it.

I don't want to burn directly from DVR to a DVD recorder as that will also reduce quality.

Am I shit outta luck at the moment?

How bout an external hard drive plugged into the DVR or are DVR formats not compatible with PC formats?

I've tried a few forums and got a hundred conflicting answers.

Thanks for any sugggestions.

If you use Tivo, just download TivoToGo from the web site. That is the only one that I know of that has this feature. I use it all the time.

Hope it helps.
