    Hi i have a hd set top box with pvr function so i connected a usb external hard drive to it so that i can record tv. it had to be formatted to a fat32 file before i could record to it. i am now having trouble transfering it so that i can record it to a dvd from my computer. i took the usb external hard drive connected it to my computer and the programs i recorded are in a pvr file i have tried almost everything to get it to record to a dvd.

    You might need a program that can decode the pvr files. Try the demo of videredotvsuite, see if that can open them for you. videoredo can open many of the pvr tabletop files.

My set top box wasnt able to handle anything bigger than 500GB hard drive tho
