I know this is a common question but I can't seem to find a simple answer. My macine is a standard Foxsat HDR, older model I think, about 5 yrs old.
I have a large file (3.5hrs) that won't copy onto my 16GB Fat32 memory stick, so how do I copy it. It is a part of the Glastonbury festival and I only want 1 hr of it.
So is there a way to edit it, can't see one and not sure about downloading software etc.
I tried formatting the stick to Ext3 using Partition Magic, worked ok but Humas refuses to recognise it.
It will see a Fat32 format but Fat32 has a 4GB limit so no use.
Sadly can't see Ntfs format, bit of an oversight there ? so can't use that.
I read somewhere (I think) that the Humax could format the memory stick if it was 32GB or over, true or false ? When I look at the screen showing HDD and memory stick I can not see an option to format the drive.
Even if it can what would it format it into ? not Fat32 as that still would not work.
Any ideas ?
I had the same problem with a movie that I just had to delete, if I had realised it was going to be a problem I would have recorded it as two overlapping parts and stitched them back together. Can't do it with this though.
Why does it not see the Ext3 format drive ? What is Ext3 anyway as my next problem is Windows doesn't recognise it, there is probably a solution to that but tedious that they didn't use a worldwide format for the copy file.

. If you do the mod that brings out the internal sata connections externally using a e-sata connector then the two drives are in fact cold swappable so you can record directly to either. The recording schedule though is on the disc so you have to create a reservation on the disk you want to record to. The custom firmware however will allow the copying of files to a PC to any file system windows supports directly via a network connection. The CF has options to use ftp and/or map the drive within file explorer, as a result you can download and upload content at will. There's also a patch available to the Humax settop app that causes future HD recordings to be recorded without encryption. As a result one of the CF DLNA server options allows you to stream even HD content to other home devices. I regulary watch HD content on a HD Android Tablet.
