Hi John,
I was reading your response to this post and have a question that you might be able to answer for me.
You mentioned that "when it comes to the recording that the units usually record to the drive directly it's proprietary file formats that I've always seen, meaning you're not able to take the hdd out place it into a computer and it show you a bunch of movie files."
The problem I have is that my security dvr cleared the drive when the drive was full.....although it was not supposed to. However, I pulled the hard drive out of the DVR as soon as I saw what happened. Only 1 % of the drive had been used up when it started recording from the beinging again.
I know the format of the drive is not recognized when you hook it up to a PC but I have a program "R-Studio" that recognizes any drive regardless of format and recovers all files it finds.
Now I have recovered all files from the drive but I can not view the videos as you have indicated they are proprietery formats.
Since the remote DVR viewer I have for my unit only lets me play back files if I connect to the DVR unit and am not able to point it to anywhere else I am stuck with how to view the files that I recovered from the hard drive.....as there is some stuff I need to save from what was recorded.
Can you help me solve this problem.
Thanks,
KC
