[Cisco FAQ] - How can I copy my recorded programs from my DVR to my PC?

Can I move copies from my DVR hard drive to my PC?

The ability to record or copy programming is categorized under specific copy protection specifications regulated by the FCC and set by the content providers.
In general, over-the-air or local broadcast programs should be set to copy freely, and allow you to make another copy for your pc or mobile device. Other subscription-based programming and premium channels may allow copying to your DVR, but might not be available to make extra copies. Additionally, PPV movies and events may be DVR recordable, but have a timeframe to view before it expires.
The copy protection on channels usually varies from provider to provider.

  • How can I copy a TV show from HM DVR to my computer?

    Is there any way to get a show off and watch it on my computer.  I used to be able to do it with my TIVO and there are many different outputs on the HMDVR (USB, ESATA, Firewire, etc).
    I thought maybe Media Manager would allow me to transfer video files to my computer but it doesn't.
    Thanks for any help.

    With the Motorola DVR offered by FiOS, you can use a PC to record content from local channels via Firewire, as it is played. Instructions for that can be found this AVS thread. Note this only works for the local (including locals in HD) and public interest channels on FiOS; this does not work for any FiOS cable channels.
    If you want to copy a recording from a cable channel using the Motorola DVR, you'll have to do it the old fashioned way -- connect the composite outputs from the DVR to your DVD recorder (or computer), press play on the DVR, and then press record on the DVD recorder (computer).
    The TivoHD is still the only standalone DVR that lets you download SD and HD recordings to your computer over your home network, as seen in the screenshot below.
    Direct recording downloads over your home network using a standard web browser.  Use 'tivo' as the login and your TiVo's media access key as the password.

  • How can I copy all the comments from my picture/s in fotostream to my picture/s in my library?

    How can I copy all the comments from my picture/s in fotostream to my picture/s in my library?

    Hi, first, you should prevent the iTunes library auto sync with iPhone: Launch iTunes > click Preferences... > click Devices. In the window, check the option 'Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically'. Next, connect your iPhone with your computer via the USB cable. Click the mini menu for iTunes on the very top left and click the option 'Show menu bar'. After then you can see iTunes File, Edit, View, Control, Store and Help menus on the ribbon. Click File > Devices > Transfer purchases from (your iPhone name). You can also access to the File menu by holding down Alt (Option on Mac), Shift and F keys. This is how to get your iPhone purcahsed song transferred to iTunes Library.

    You can do that in FCPX too, as all the things you cited are listed separately in the inspector.
    Here's a little gotcha. Let's say you've color corrected a few clips and you've applied an effect to one and want to paste it the other clips. You switch off color correction and copy the clip. You select the other clips and paste effects. What do you think happens? The effect is applied, but the color correction is applied as well, only it's switched off as it was in the first clip, so all the color correction on the other clips is lost. Fun, eh?
    I'll try to replicate your gotcha - but no, that doesn't sound like fun at all!

  • I own a MacBook Pro and an iMac. How can I copy my iPhoto library from my MacBook to the iMac?

    I own a 13" MacBook Pro and a 27" iMac and I have different iPhoto libraries for each one of them.
    How can I copy the iPhoto library from the MacBook to the iMac without losing the pictures I have on the iMac library?
    Is it possible to merge the libraries?
    Can I do this without using an external HDD? (e.g. connecting them through an ethernet cable?)
    Thanks for your help!

    1. By eirher a: renaming one of the Libraries or b: copying them to another folder
    2. If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
    3. Yes.

    How can I copy all the files from my iMac to an external drive so they remain as 'regular accessible files'? I want to clean my dive

    You can use a program like Carbon Copy Cloner.  It will clone your HD to the external.  The format is the same as your internal drive and you can boot from it using Option key at boot time.

  • How can I copy address book content from user 1 to user 2 in my iMac

    I have my iMac set up with 2 users. The address book is in user 1. I need to establish a copy of it in user 2 so that the icloud I have set up for that user icludes the address book. How can i copy the address book from user 1 to user 2?

    Are you sure you did that right ... because I did a File/Backup Address Book, and the file named included the date. I then copied the file through our Airport network from the Powerbook to a new iMac. The opening Address Book on the iMac, I did a File/Revert to Address Book Backup, which allows you to choose the file. Now the iMac had the same Address Book file as the Powerbook. This looks to me to be the same thing you are trying to do.

    How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

    Dr. P,
    Song files are just files.  You can copy them the way you copy any other files, like photos or documents.
    If any of the files are not already in MP3 format, and you wish to create MP3 versions, then you can convert them using iTunes, by following this guide:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550

    We have tried changing the value of bUsageMeasurement (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\FeatureLockdown) to zero, but it did not help.

    You’re probably going to have to contact Support on that one.
