Feck feck feck deleted all my dr whos

Fecking Panasonic.
I meant to 'finalise' but instead hit 'format' and wiped 5 episodes of
Dr Who that I was backing up from the hard drive. And of course I'd
deleted them frmo the hard drive before I formatted the disc.

What are the odds of scanning the drive from another machine with
recovery software ?

£10.99 ...

So get them off a bittorent site, problem solved

They won't be in as good quality though. It's rare you get DVD-format
(mpeg2) torrents online due to the size of them.


So he should buy or rip the DVD when it comes out. Sounds like he has
already seen them and only wants them for the collection anyway.

Not everything comes out on DVD though.

To save problems like this happening, I got a 400Gb Seagate USB hard
drive and connect that via firewire to my PC. That way, every time I
record something I want to keep I archive it to DVD and convert that to
an .mpg file on the hard drive (the latter is dead easy with a program
like Mpeg Video Wizard) and I do that before I delete it from my TiVo.

How do you get the video off the Tivo? I've done this myself after
fitting a turbonet card (or whatever it's called), and then being able
to get .ty files from the Tivo over FTP.

Use TyTool (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=47025 and
http://www.tytool.com/tytemplates/FAQ/default.aspx). It gets the files
off faster than FTP, lets you do frame-accurate editing and converts the
audio to 48kHz for DVD *without* re-encoding the video, creates a DVD
fileset complete with a menu and then all you have to do is burn the
fileset as a DVD-Video. Be prepared to read a lot of FAQs and go up a
learning curve; the quality of the results are worth it. HTH

One point to note about Mpeg Video Wizard, when getting a DVD-format mpeg out
of the .vob files, it doesn't convert them either, they just pass-through
quite quickly.

I discovered it shortly after registering TMPGEnc. D'oh

Are there any episodes that comes with subtitles available on the 'net?
I'd be very happy.

Ah of course.. I guess it's Doctor What? for you!

I wouldn't mind subtitled torrents. It'd save me having to wait for E4 to show
ER.
