Copy from a Humax PVR to a PC
A little off topic, but I thought I would try this NG to ask:
Is it possible to copy a radio programme that has been recorded onto a Humax PVR to a PC using the USB port found behind the flap at the front of the Humax? -- Cheers Peter |

Yes. You can copy TV programmes as well. I suspect it may not be so easy - although mine is a Matsui not a Humax. As far as the PVR is concerned, a radio programme is the same as a TV programme so if you download it via USB you will have the 'picture' as well. You are then faced with the problem of seperating or re-recording the sound from the composite. I took the easy option and made a SCART-3.5mm jack cable, used the sound line input, and copied it (in my case) using Cool Edit Pro. -- Woody harrogate three at ntlworld dot com |

Instructions for transferring recorded programmes are provided on files with Humax's ELinker installation software. There would have been a CD with the box, or you can download it from the Humax support site. Be sure to follow the instructions exactly during installation - don't connect the box before the drivers are installed. You'll need external software to split out the audio from the Humax ".ts" file and convert it to mp3 (or whatever). Free programs include VideoLan Client (vlc) and ProjectX. Note the new Humax PVRs don't have transfer capability - only the 9200T can do it. |

Do a search for "Humax Media Controller". Alternatively you can try the Humax eLinker software. Both have their niggles and performance is dire, so be prepared to wait ages for files to be transferred. Then you need something to play (or convert or demultiplex) the Transport Stream files you will end up with. |

And surely any computer with an audio input has simple audio recording software? But it's how I do it as I have an existing audio link between Hi-Fi and computer. -- *Xerox and Wurlitzer will merge to market reproductive organs.

This group have done some work on this ...
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/TwinRIP/ "It has been found to work with other recorders that use the STAVFS filesystem. There has been particular success with the OpenTel 4200 device, and TwinRIP has limited success with certain early Humax recorders. It can't extract from later 8000+ series Humax units due to encrypted header blocks. The 9200 series Humax doesn't use the STAVFS format but an extractor for this model is in the Files section."

The Humax-supplied utilities for transferring data from your Hummy to a PC
are dreadful. You need HumaxMediaController: http://www.enigma.eclipse.co.uk/huma...Controller.htm It's a console application (runs in a "DOS box") but if you read the prompts on the screen it is all self-explanatory. It works MUCH more reliably than any of the alternatives. That software will transfer the transport stream (.ts) files to your PC. There are several programs around that will let you edit .ts files and convert them into something more useful. I strongly recommend VideoReDo TVSuite from: http://www.videoredo.com I use these two programs with my Hummy all the time. It works well. SteveT |
