Can anyone help - is it possible to copy an 80 min program from a Foxsat HDR onto a usb stick or external drive, and then onto a second HDR? And any idea of how big the file will be (non-HD)?

I dont think it works unless it was recorded in non freesat mode.

It's perfectly possible - the only recordings that you can't transfer to another machine are HD ones that have been encrypted (marked with 'enc') in the media list

File size varies depending on the channel recorded and type of program but I'd expect an 80min SD recording to be around 2GB

There will be 3 files all with the same name but a different extention.

SD should be no problem unless it's a very long recording and the usb device is FAT32 (max file size 4GB). For files larger than 4GB a EXT3 formatted drive is needed.

xxxxx.ts (the video) xxxxx.hmt (prog info etc) and xxxxx.nts (navigation data). Without all 3 the Foxsat-hdr won't play the video.

Raydon's AV2HDR can create the two support files from suitable non native video.

80 mins should be roughly about 3GB depending on the bitrate used by the channel it was recorded from. (the support files are quite small).

Thanks Graham & others - your help much appreciated here!
