Off-loadin​g recorded programmin​g from DVR to PC

How can I copy recorded programming from my DVR to my PC? Tried connecting thru RJ45 internet connection to the network, but it didn't come up as a device in the network. 

I don't know this for certain, but I expect that you may not be able to copy the program as a file from your DVR even if you can establish a connection. I don't work for Verizon so I don't have access to the details, but I expect that the recording may be encrypted to preserve copyrights.
The only sure way I know to get the program to your PC would be to use a component video output (analog signals don't have a provision for copy protection) from the DVR to a video capture card on your PC that accepts component video.
I am not a lawyer, either, but I believe that making a backup copy for your own personal use may be legal under the Fair Use doctrine. You almost certainly would not have the rights to distribute copies of this program, however, whether it is for sale or even if you give it away for free. If this is what you have in mind, I recommend that you consult a lawyer before distributing the content.

  • Problem recording to DVD from DVR

    I am having a problem setting the recording speed when recording from DVR to DVD.
    When recording directly from the TV (either manually or programmed), I set the recording speed using the REC MODE button on the remote and it works well.
    When I record from DVR I set the recording speed the same way but the recording stops after 30 minutes. I was able to get around this by pressing the RECORD button on the set enough times to get it to register the desired speed.
    I find this very awkward (and unnecessary). Is there something obvious that I am missing?
    Thanks
    Solved!

    I think you might be a little confused.
    REC MODE is only for setting speed. Multiple times being pressed keeps changing the recording speed.
    REC is only for actual recording. Multiple times being pressed increases the amount of time to record by 30 minutes.

  • Recording tv shows from dvr to my pc

    I have a brighthouse DVR and want to record some of the show's from it,I have a HP 9500y pc equiped with burnning/labaling abilty but no idea how to hook them together,or if it's even possible. any info would be great thanks

    Couple of things to keep in mind here.
    1) Your PC does not have a BlueRay drive.   DVD native resolution is NTSC, ie: low def, not high def.  While
    software exists to convert you lose resolution and the show is going to look terrible.
    2) Your brighthouse DVR I suspect is the one supplied by your cable TV provider, brighthouse?
    If that is the case then almost certainly it is not going to have any way for the typical consumer to
    make archival copies of TV shows because they want you to fill up your DVR so you have to delete
    your old TV shows and get more from them (and continue to pay them, of course)
    If you really want to record TV shows off brighthouse cable then this is what your going to have to do:
    1) Scrap your DVR
    2) Buy a PC that has Windows 7 on it.
    3) Buy a TV tuner card (There's an inexpensive USB one for about $50 that works great)
    4) If you subscribe to premium cable (ie: encrypted TV) then you will have to buy a
    TV tuner card for the PC that has the slot in it for the cable-company supplied decryption
    card.  Once you get it working with unencrypted cable you call the cable company to
    come out and plug in the decryption card.
    5) Download a number of free conversion and video editing programs.  Project X is one of
    the best free ones out there.
    6) Record your TV show then convert it from the .ts file to a AVI file using a codec of your
    choice.  Popular ones are MPEG4, DiVX, etc.    This will not only shrink it down but it
    will put it in a format that allows you to edit it to crop out the commercials.
    7) Buy more hard drives.  You will quickly find it much cheaper to create a library of
    external USB hard drives (1-2 terabyte jobs) then to try to burn shows to optical media.
    Have you priced blank bluray media lately?  Not to mention the burners.
    You need Win 7 because earlier versions of windows do not allow TV tuners to decode the
    Cable TV standard off the cable line (at least, not for the cheap tuner cards, the expensive
    ones contain software that will do it)
    Keep in mind I do not have brighthouse, I looked at their website but I decided not to
    waste a lot of time on it since it's not clear what exactly kind of content provider they are.
    If they are not a cable provider but instead your getting stuff over the Internet from them
    to your DVR, then a TV tuner card isn't going to do much good of course.  If that is the
    case then short of taking apart the DVR and taking the hard disk out and sticking it
    in a PC to get the raw files off the DVR, your pretty much screwed.

  • Recording to DVD from DVR

    I used to have Bright House, when a progeam was finished being watched on the DVR an option was to "Record to VCR." (We used the DVD recorder). There is no option like this with FIOS. I called Verizon support (HAHA) and the agent told me - get this - that I had to call the manufacturer of the DVD recorder. I mentioned how lame an answer that was and he laughed. Would have been better off with the stock answer of "It's not available in your area."
    Anybody have any fixes for this or know when it wil be available, if ever?

    You can always transfer (via component, s-video, composite, or RF) to an external device like a VCR or DVD recorder.  The only caveat is that you won't be able to watch anything other than what you are transferring.  Don't know if Brighthous allowed transfer while watcing something else, but for now, that is the only way to accomplish what you are asking.
    If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem.

  • Recording digital audio from dvr

    Having trouble with recording audio from a dvr with a toslink cable connected to digital input on an imac. The resulting audio is high pitch static. Is Garageband capable of processing this audio, or does it have to be run through an amplifier first? Any help is appreciated

    GarageBand cannot decode a Dolby Digital signal. You will need to decode it first with an external device (i.e. DVR > Amp > line output from amp > input on Mac)

  • Can I capture a tv show recorded on my cable dvr and send it to imovie

  • Burn DVD from DVR via iDVD?

    Is it possible to move a recorded television program from one's DVR to the Mac and then burn the program to a DVD using iDVD? If so, how?

    You DVR needs to have a DV out in order to do this directly. You will use one of the firewire ports on your computer to capture the video/audio. If your DVR only has composite video/audio, or a coax output to the tv, then you will need to use the method given above. Either via a camcorder that will convert the analog signals to digital, or a separate converter box (i.e. Canopus) that does the same.

  • How to get camera from DVR Card?

    I want do a application record camera from DVR Card( Not
    Webcam). so can do?
    DVR Card
    http://www.dvrcards.com/cards.htm
    Thank you?

    Unfortunately, not all video card drivers are supported by
    the flashplayer or flash media encoder. You might need to use
    another program to make it work (I hear splitcam works pretty
    well).

  • Transferring content from DVR to PC

    Is the Media Manager capable of transferring recorded television shows from the DVR to a PC yet, ala TiVo?
    When I had TiVo, I was able to move recorded programming from the DVR to my PC via a wireless transmitter and then play the content on my PC or convert it for viewing on my iPod. It was very convenient. Is the Verizon DVR and Media Manager able to do that yet? 
    If not, has anyone figured out a workaround?

    If you want that feature on FiOS, you'll have to buy a TiVo.

  • Crystal Report Alerts not firing when no records are fetched from the DB

    Hello,
    The crystal report alert i have created in the report in the event of no records being fetched from the query is not firing.  The condition used is isnull ( count(DB Field ) ).
    Is there a limitation with alerts that they would be fired only when some records are fetched in the report.
    Appreciate any pointers
    -Jayakrishnan

    hi Jayakrishnan,
    as alerts require records to be returned here's what you will need to do:
    1) delete your current alert
    2) create a new formula with syntax like
                  isnull(DistinctCount ()) or DistinctCount () = 0
    3) create a new Subreport (which you will put in a report header)
    4) the subreport can be based off of any table
    5) have the subreport record selection always return only 1 record...for performance reasons
    6) change the subreport link to be based on the new formula
    7) the link will be a one way link in that you will not use the "Select data in subreport based on field" option
    8) now in the subreport, create the Alert based on the parameter created by the subreport link
    i have tested this and it works great.

  • IPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds recorded. This happens randomly and often and sometimes has the delay but starts at zero. Solution Anyone?

    After iOS 7 update, my iPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds that it shows has recorded. This happens randomly and often, sometimes it will have the 5+ second delay but starts recording at zero seconds. Besides the delay it has been working fine as far as saving and playback is concerned. I have plenty of storage on the phone itself and it NEVER had this problem before I updated to iOS 7. I've reset the phone a couple times by holding down the power and home buttons at the same time. The reason I have an issue with this is that I'm always recording song ideas, melodies, and scratch takes; what I'm saying is when I come up with an idea I need to be able to know that when I hit record it will start right then so I don't forget anything that has just popped in my mind.
    Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?
    Thanks

  • Delta records not updating from DSO to CUBE in BI 7

    Hi Experts,
    Delta records not updating from DSO to CUBE
    in DSO keyfigure value showing '0' but in CUBE same record showing '-I '
    I cheked in Change log table in DSO its have 5 records
    ODSR_4LKIX7QHZX0VQB9IDR9MVQ65M -  -1
    ODSR_4LKIX7QHZX0VQB9IDR9MVQ65M -   0
    ODSR_4LIF02ZV32F1M85DXHUCSH0DL -   0
    ODSR_4LIF02ZV32F1M85DXHUCSH0DL -   1
    ODSR_4LH8CXKUJPW2JDS0LC775N4MH -   0
    but active data table have one record - 0
    how to corrcct the delta load??
    Regards,
    Jai

    Hi,
    I think initially the value was 0 (ODSR_4LH8CXKUJPW2JDS0LC775N4MH - 0, new image in changelog) and this got loaded to the cube.
    Then the value got changed to 1 (ODSR_4LIF02ZV32F1M85DXHUCSH0DL - 0, before image & ODSR_4LIF02ZV32F1M85DXHUCSH0DL - 1, after image). Now this record updates the cube with value 1. The cube has 2 records, one with 0 value and the other with 1.
    The value got changed again to 0 (ODSR_4LKIX7QHZX0VQB9IDR9MVQ65M - (-1), before image &
    ODSR_4LKIX7QHZX0VQB9IDR9MVQ65M - 0, after image). Now these records get aggregated and update the cube with (-1).
    The cube has 3 records, with 0, 1 and -1 values....the effective total is 0 which is correct.
    Is this not what you see in the cube? were the earlier req deleted from the cube?

    You can take a screen shot of any page in your iPad.  Simply hold the power and home button for less than an second and you'll hear the camera shutter.  The picture will be stored in your camera roll and you can then email it.
