in Humax #1
Being as I’m a bit new to copying the programs from my 9200 to my PC and then onto a DVD I thought I would start a thread just for this to see how other people are doing it.
It would also be interesting to see what is the best common way!

So...
What method do you use to get programs from your 9200T to a DVD?

* What USB cable do you use and how long is it? What sort of transfer times do you get? Do you get any errors?

* What application do you use to convert the file?

* What dvd authorizing tool do you use to create the dvd.

* How successful is the overall process? How long does it take?

Many thanks
ATB :)

    Why? Was there something wrong with the thread on this subject that's already been running since last October?

    Hi Cliff
    Many thanks for pointing that out. I have already read some of it, but a lot of it is irrelevant.
    Threads have a tendency to go off at a tangent!
    What I am trying to find out is how other people are transferring file to a DVD and what sort of success they are having!
    That’s all!
    Maybe this thread can be more concise?

    OK, try a few of the other more recent threads all exploring the same thing which may have remained a bit more on-topic:

    (a search of "DVD" in this forum is quite illuminating!)

    Martyn started a thread about using DVR-Studio Pro for this purpose. I have used the trial version and it i an absolute piece of cake. Recomend you find the thread and have a go with the trial version. I only had one cock up with it which was my fault when I made the disk burn with the wrong sound source (remember the audio button on the remote where it shows there are two audio streams). One of the two streams has the correct sound to go with the video and the other is either blank or has 'commentary' about whats going on in the programme. So its important to choose the right sound file (the large one).

    The FAQ's talk about a simple archiving of recordings by connecting the Humax scart to a DVD recorder scart. No worries about high performance scart leads, crummy hummy software, tedious slow usb download to the pc, no mega storage required on my pc, no file conversion, no tedious nero burning- just one cheapo scart lead and bingo - a new dvd copy of the programme. What am I missing?

    I use this method.
    Just a shame you can't set a playlist of several programs to play through at once. So when archiving a series you could leave it to to fill up a whole dvd instead of having to set each program to play one at a time.
