[QUOTE="georgemichaelto, post: 796798, member: 84284"] Hi bobtomay; I don't work for Hauppauge if this what you mean. I have Scientific Atlanta HD8300 PVR from Rogers and always schedule the programs i want to watch, but that can fill up fast when used for HD content. So i add an HDD extender, which add additional 500GB to the HD8300. Then I got myself the HP mediasmart EX475 and started to think of a way to copy my recordings directly to the HP MSS, but for restrictions on the HD8300, i can't access the programs directly on the hard drive, so that failed. then I came across the Hauppauge HD PVR, I only got it last weekend. and it gets its feeds from the HD8300 (components and Optical for audio for 1080i HD). it can record directly into 2 formats (.TS and .M2TS) these 2 file formats can be streamed directly on my network with PS3 or Popcorn Hour , no need to convert them, unless you need smaller file size, you can convert them to MP4 (to play them on PSP, iPod, and other devices). for a movie of 2 hours length, you get a file size of about 4GB if you use capture rate 6.4Mbs, for a 9Mbs you get a file size about 7GB but the quality is seamless, and off course you get 5.1 surround sound with both. When accessing files using PS3, I brows to the Movies folder and i can see all movies in alphabetical order, with just a random shot from the movie as a thumbnail before the movie title is displayed. When access the same folder from PopCornHour, I see just the movies titles in order with no thumbnails or any pictures. but remember these are direct recording and not DVD ripping. Although i have a ripping DVD software, I rarely do any DVD ripping (always have audio video sync problems) so I don't have .TS folders to check. if i can find the time over the weekend, I will try ripping a DVD and let you know.
