Xfering encoded recordings to new HDR
I am looking to upgrade my Foxsat HDR to the 500gb version and I want to keep some encoded recordings from my original 320gb version, how do I do this? One of the recordings is of my 90 year old father at the FA cup final between Portsmouth and Chelsea which was on ITV HD and which I do not want to lose.

Thanks Graham, that's a great idea.
It does worry me a bit though that if at some stage the box breaks down I won't be able to play the encoded files, surely Humax don't expect you to eventually lose all your archived video, do they? |

If you can borrow a dvd recorder you can of course create a real time copy in SD. If you have a PC with analogue video audio inputs or a DV camcorder with video in you could do the same and create a DVD from the file. |

I have got a hard disk recorder with DVD burner so I can make a backup SD copy. What 1tb hard drive do you recommend for upgrade?

Example http://www.pc-titan.com/product_info...I--WD10EA.html If you shop around you will likely find one cheaper. |

http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/librar...879-701250.pdf If you wan't max space for video remember to reduce the music/photo partition to the minimum of 1GB. After the auto format choose to format both partitions which gives you a slider to adjust. It only takes a few minutes. |

Unfortunately the OP's father will probably no longer be distinguishable on the SD version, if he was just in the crowd.
![]() So is this to say then that once a recording has been encrypted there is no way to clear it again (by manually changing flags before a file copy, or whatever)? |
