How to copy saved shows from DVR to Computer ?

Recommended Posts

I would think the possible way would be via USB or Ethernet or a USB storage device, I'm not sure if a USB data transfer cable would work . my DVR is a Motorolla DCX3400-M . I don't want to watch the shows directly on my laptop so i don't want a tuner, just copying my pre-saved shows ..

Hi there!

 

This forum is normally for surveillance/CCTV DVRs, not home PVRs, but I may have a solution for you.

 

I haven't tried this myself with my new DCX3400-M, but I'm told it works: you need a firewire port on your computer, and you connect the firewire port on your DCX to it... make sure the drivers update so it's visible to the system. Then you use a video capture program that can capture from a firewire device (which would normally be something like a MiniDV camcorder) - that should be able to access and capture the video from your PVR in realtime (meaning a one-hour show will take one hour to copy).

 

For more help, you could try forums like www.dslreports.com or www.digitalhome.ca
