Hi guys. Just brought a hard-drive recorder (yet to receive it), and I'm wondering; What formats do they record in? I realize that it would be different for every manufacturer, but since they usually use an IDE drive, how hard would it be to pull the files from it? I've heard that they sometimes use odd/custom file systems, but since they usually advertise that they use MPEG encoding, the files shouldn't be too hard to yank out (although they may be in a container). Googling hasn't shed any light on it. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks. |

How will you 'yank' it out?, AFAIK, their is no network connectivity with these devices, unless of course yours does, but then you would need a compatible O/S on the device so your PC could talk to the device(recorder) |

I mean yank as in take out the hard drive, and put it in a PC, and yank out the frame and audio data from the files (that is if they use an odd container format). |

I use Pinnacle Studio 10 for my video camcorder editing. S10 also has the ability to rip unprotected DVD's to the hard drive. Then they can be edited and re-written to another DVD. This would suit you, or there are probably freeware ones out there on the net.

While it does have a DVD unit, it doesn't work (shuts down when any attempt to record/play a DVD is made). And it's less fun. |
