hi guys,
i currently own a Fortec Star Passion + - it does the basics, inc recording HD, but what drives me nuts is the recording system it uses. (it has no editing facilities on the recordings)
First of, it uses FAT32 (so files for one show are split into several segments) - ANNOYING
When i record say LIFE (nature doc) currently shown ON BBC HD.
It will created a FOLDER on the disk, inside that folder it records the program in chunks of 1.5gb .TS files.
Along with the .TS files, are an .IDX and a .INF file.
If i edit these files in anyway, i usually end up with a file(s) that wont play, or if ive edited them successfully, the .IDX file it uses and NEEDS, show in-accurate info, ie if ive edit out 15 mins of crap, it would still say the file is 15 mins longer than it really is.
So im thinking of ditching it as i cant build up an libraries without lots of head ache....
Im therefore wondering - what HD recievers you're using, and what file FORMATS they're recording in, and are they in one nice file, and over 4gb? Can you edit the files directly on the receiver?
Let me know.
MANY Thanks!!!
