It would help to know what file extension the files are saved as (eg: 'The 10 O'Clock News.dvr') First thing I would suggest is to install a codec pack such as Ace Mega Codec Pack or the DeFiler Pack and VLC Media player, and attempt to play the file with VLC Sometimes DVRs require you to have special player software and you have to download a digital certificate from the DVR it's self. I have an ARM 16 channel DVR security system that records in.drv format, requires a special player that is downloadable from the DVR and from ARM, to view the content you need to change the security settings in Internet Explorer, and go to the DVR's IP adress in IE (firefox, chrome and safari wont work) and download the DVRs digital certificate in order to decrypt and decode the video.
DrJRE I have the same problem as the poster above you. I have downloaded the program onto an USB Drive and when I plug it into my computer it states that the drive is non-readable and that I need to reformat my drive. But it also says that it will delete everything on it. So how do I get my content off of the USB drive and onto my computer? Well it'd be easier to just download it again and let windows format the drive. Otherwise I would recommend Redo!
Backup and Restore from -Boot the computer using Redo! -Close the backup program that launches at startup -plug in the USB drive.
It may jut let you in.If not: Open the 'Start' menu on the lower left corner and run the disk checking tool (testdisk) it may fix the problem.If not: Open the 'Start' menu on the lower left corner and run the file recovery program (photorec) to recover the data.If not: The data is unrecoverable and there is nothing that can be done. Hi, I don't know if this thread is still live, or if anyone is still checking it, but, you can't transfer media you've recorded with a Dish Network DVR to any sort of external drive and then expect to be able to plug that same EHD in to a computer or directly in to the side of a TV or whatever and be able to watch it. Dish Network PVRs send the media content to the drive in an encrypted format, and only the Dish PVR itself can decrypt it for playback.
This is to guard against video piracy. Let me know if I misunderstood the question.
It's been about 4 years since I did this last. The first thing I did was remove the hard drive from the DVR and I placed it in my Win XP computer. I downloaded and installed DiskInternals Linux Reader Freeware (diskinternals.com) Diskinternals Linux reader let me read the files directly on the DVR drive.
I then copied the files from the DVR drive to an NTFS formatted external drive. The video files on the DVR are not in a standard avi or mpeg format. You will need to install some software to play them or convert them to a standard format. I used a program called Splayer to play the videos I copied from the DVR to the external drive. I downloaded splayer from splayer.org Have fun. I get that piracy is rampant and needs to be prevented.

However, that small part of what DVRs are used for should not over ride what if is used for. I had a lot of home movies, grand baby videos, that came up lost because I accidentally reformatted the hard drive instead of the DVD-RW disc I had intended to reformat. It just disgusts me that the industry as a whole would intentionally go out of their way to set it up so that any thing that I record needs to be protected from me!! If you think there needs to be protection from me, then add a stinking routine to the delete function so that when I select 'Delete' on the remote and the selected drive is the hard drive, then prompt me with 'Hey Stupid, do you REALLY want to delete your HARD DRIVE'? If I had gotten that response, I probably would have caught it that I was about to delete from the hard drive and not the disk. Yes, I am fuming because I have just wiped everything off the DVR including home movies that are lost forever. It was a Panasonic DMR-EH50.

The 100GB disk keeps showing up as a zero filled 2TB drive (no partition, nothing). Our Directv DVR needs to be replaced because of a faulty fan and subsequent overheating. I PURCHASED all my programs that were recorded & I will keep them if I can transfer them.
Directv Customer Service (DCS) says the movies and programs I have stored on the DVR cannot reliably be saved, because: 1. They 'don't know how to get the movies off of the DVR.' (unbelievable, right?
Sounds like fabrication to me!). They didn't offer to learn or it's a freaking transparent ploy to force more purchases for the replacement DVR. They acted like I was asking for an act of Congress when I asked, 'Can I transfer the old DVR playlist to the new DVR? (OMG, UNHEARD OF.). 'IF' they could do that. Download xtreme rat challenge game. 'IF' IT WAS EVEN POSSIBLE'.'
In order to even ATTEMPT such a difficult maneuver, they would have to 'send it out' to a special location where they MIGHT be able to do this, but it's too difficult, they Can't Make Any Promises or Guarantees.' They MAY or MAY NOT Be Able To Safely Transfer My Programs & movies.' JEEZ-US ON A RAFT. After reading most of the related posts, I am wondering if DSC was just 'being inconvenienced' or trying to keep away from obvious pirating OR (my choice.) they really don't know what the hell they're doing! So can this be done Old DVR - New DVR?
Or Old DVR - iPad or laptop - disc or USB? Not too familiar with movies & the whole DVR process.but I want to be! Could one of you kind commenters please break this process down into a few critical steps as well as being a bit more specific about what I should use as the transfer medium or peripheral? If so, it sure would be appreciated.thanks, Kim. (I didn't include tech specs because I have a wide variety of HW and SW that might meet specifics) DVR is a DVR, about 1-1/2 yrs old.USB and CD availability doesn't need explaining.but WHICH is better to use?
Transfer to laptop, iPad, USB or CDR/ DVD?
