Yes. You need a USB cable and the Media eLinker software (version 2.1 or
later), supplied with the machine or downloaded from Humax.

(You can view the programmes on the PC with the VideoLAN VLC media player
available (free) from http://www.videolan.org/ )

This has been reported as more efficient than Media eLinker, and I've
used it myself with no problems,

Edit your files on the Humax, and you'll save transfer time.

It doesn't have a DVD drive, so you'd have to do a SCART link to a DVD
recorder. I've done it, but it's a lot of bother.

I concur. Media eLinker is almost useless, in my experience (yours may
differ, of course).

The HumaxMediaController application works brilliantly, although for some
reason the developer didn't give it a GUI, so it's command line only.
Fairly easy to use, though, and in my experience is totally reliable.

Be warned that file transfer is painfully slow, whatever software you use.
This is a limitation of the Humax.

There is a GUI for Media Controller at
http://www.andrewdsmith.plus.com/hummy/. It needs to be
manually installed, but that's relatively simple after reading
readme.txt.

I know. It wasn't a lot of trouble to record to my Panasonic DVD recorder.
I'd guess it is a lot easier and more reliable than trying to record to a
PC.
