I doubt it. The tools on the HDR-FOX automated by fixdisk are tuned specifically for the HDR-FOX HDD configuration and not necessarily as per the Aura. You would be confined to running the tools directly from the command line with suitable parameters, so you might as well do the same from a general purpose PC and benefit from faster processing.
But most people don't have access to a linux box. I don't, at home my only linux boxes are my Humaxes.
So long as you have a PC of any sort, you do:
How do you know what "most people" do or don't? You only have a limited sample.
Of the sample of about a dozen people I know, not one of them would be comfortable running a USB bootable distro on their PCs. Most people are scared of installing software in case it breaks things.
But that's the point of a live distro!!!!!
I said nothing about dismantling an HDR Fox T2, I was assuming connecting the Aura HDD to it using a USB adaptor. I am aware that will be slow.
As Mr Kipling says, "exceedingly".
With the Aura you can install a whole range of Android Tv apps and there appear to be file system repair tools available which would be the first thing I would investigate (NB I haven't seen any reports of anybody using them on an Aura).
If you play the fox content streaming it on a smart/other player TV the subs are fine. You don't need another machine
.... and work continuously to make it even more inconvenient
Interesting option, I'll bear that in mind if I ever need subtitles. My Sony TV can stream things fine from my HDR Fox T2 for example, but I've never seen any point in doing so.
No. The best you can do is export in reduced quality.
