That will depend on the manufacturer of the device that is storing the video. Most DirecTV DVRs are actually TiVos, and while there are some ways to extract the video from a TiVo, they are usually complex and require modifications to the unit itself. Other boxes such as a Dish DVR can be from Scientific Atlanta, and those boxes usually do not have video that can be extracted. The easiest way for you to do what you're trying to do will be either to get a DVR that supports direct DVD burning, such as one of the Pioneer models, or to get a DVD burner and use the output video from the DVR to the input of the DVD burner.\n\nExtraction of video from TiVo is a grey area in legality, most forums do not discuss it because of fear of being sued by the company. A good place to start is AVS forums, though there is no discussion of video extraction allowed there.\nhttp://www.tivocommunity.com/ is helpful if you are running a TiVo, if not, there are other forums for other manufacturers here. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=8\n\nHope this answers your question.

You can put it in your windows&#92;system32 directory and see if that helps.

yes it is, you have to save the attachment, it will ask you where you want to save, tell it the A: drive, and make sure your disk is in the drive before you do it.

The way I do it is to compress it/Zip it (the folder) and then attach the zipped file.

only with a special cabel.  I would suggest getting a jump drive (usb memory stick) and transfering the files that way.  If the HDD has crashed then you have a very expensive option.

Assuming that the device exists as /dev/dvd\n\nFirst you need somewhere to mount it and you need to be root to do it. Create a mount point eg mkdir /media/dvd, put a disk in the drive and then mount the disk with the command mount /dev/dvd -t iso9660 /media/dvd

Dish Network had a free installation and a free DVR upgrade. I couldn't live without my DVR and you shouldn't either.
