Hello All,
Having been annoyed by strange disk errors on my HDR Fox T2, so I took the plunge and installed the custom firmware. I have sucesfully used the "fix-disk" utility to get back some recordings which had appeared lost, so I am pretty chuffed!
However, now that I have dipped my toes in the water, I am keen to understand how to do a few more basic operations. Any advice on the following questions would be greatly appreciated.
1) I have downloaded an SD TS file from the Humax to my Mac (using the opt+ icon in the web portal when browsing the humax). Quicktime will open the file, but will not play it. Are SD files protected? Do I need to use another player (maybe VLC)?
2) I have installed the auto-unprotect package which it seems will remove any encryption from HD files (have not tried it yet), can I assume it does not remove encryption from SD files?
3) What are the best tools/steps to get recorded content onto my Mac for archive/viewing/editing/transferring to iOS devices?
4) What other "must have" packages would you recommend?
Thanks so much for any feedback!
