world4i 0 Posted October 27, 2011 I would think the possible way would be via USB or Ethernet or a USB storage device, I'm not sure if a USB data transfer cable would work . my DVR is a Motorolla DCX3400-M . I don't want to watch the shows directly on my laptop so i don't want a tuner, just copying my pre-saved shows .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted October 27, 2011 Hi there! This forum is normally for surveillance/CCTV DVRs, not home PVRs, but I may have a solution for you. I haven't tried this myself with my new DCX3400-M, but I'm told it works: you need a firewire port on your computer, and you connect the firewire port on your DCX to it... make sure the drivers update so it's visible to the system. Then you use a video capture program that can capture from a firewire device (which would normally be something like a MiniDV camcorder) - that should be able to access and capture the video from your PVR in realtime (meaning a one-hour show will take one hour to copy). For more help, you could try forums like www.dslreports.com or www.digitalhome.ca Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
