With a USB Flash memory stick or an USB external hard drive (not NTFS format) you should be able to get the file off of the box.
Plug the stick/drive in and the machine should say USB device detected on screen. Press the Media button. Press Opt+ button Press OK to pick file manager Press right arrow to select the USB device window Press OK so it shows the folder icon followed by two dots Press left key and highlight recording to copy Press green button to copy Three files should now copy to the USB device. When finished power down the HDR and unplug USB device. Plug USB device into a PC then copy to CD or DVD is the file one with extension .ts (the big one). Good luck Automan. |

Hopefully the particular news item you wish to send was recorded in Standard def and not Hi def. If it was HD then your efforts will be in vain, due to the encryption. If whoever it was an SD recording, your daughter will need someting to play the video file back. VLC is a free player that will play .ts files available from www.videolan.org

Thank you all. I put it on a external hard disk then dragged it onto my laptop desktop and then she put it on her p/c. GB62 page in the manual was not much help to me. The news by the way was a 106 birthday...Roger and Val

How times have changed - back in 1905 John Ambrose Fleming had just invented the vacuum diode (or 2 electrode radio rectifier tube as it was known). We've come a long way to Satellite TV, Freesat, HD, HDDs, DVDs, laptops and USB devices since then.

Just read this post about powering down the HDR before unplugging the USB device. Is that power down so the red light is on the front or power down switch off at the mains?

Just be sure to wait until the HDR has finished copying the file before unplugging as it could cause file corruption if done mid-process. |
