Hi all, this is my first post and I'm not a youngster, and not too good with technical stuff.so please be patient if I'm not explaining properly. I am trying to learn if there is a way to transfer programs I've recorded (saved) to an external hard drive attached to a Samsung Smart TV. I now have a Panasonic DMR-BWT700EB.which is great, and have no problem transferring programs to DVD on this machine, but I have many programs that I would like to transfer to DVD from the hard drive connected to my Samsung TV if it is possible. If anyone knows of any solutions or workarounds that I might be able to use, it would be appreciated. I have tried many online searches on the subject, but not been able to find anything as a real solution. Cheers NB my external hard drive connected to my TV is a 1GB USB-3 drive, and the TV formatted it on connecting to the TV, I assume it formatted it to FAT32. I haven't tried connecting the hard drive to my PC in case it gets corrupted and I lose the ability to view the content/programs stored on the drive.

According to several UK forum threads on the subject, you cannot easily transfer recordings made by the Samsung TV to a PC or make DVDs/BDs from them. The Samsung TV formats its connected PVR HDD using a variation of Linux file system, then encrypts the files so that only the TV that made them can play them. See the sample discussion in this typical thread: If you were a technical 'geek,' you could look into the procedures some people use to transfer files from their DVD recorder HDDs directly to their PCs.
The issues are similar to the Samsung TV PVR: Linux file system, and (sometimes) encrypted files. But this isn't an intuitive task, it can involve a lot of effort and risk, and you describe yourself as not being especially 'geeky' in the first place: so you probably shouldn't proceed any further. Consider the Samsung recordings to be 'trapped' in their USB HDD case: if you want to keep them, just disconnect the drive and buy a new one to fill up with new recordings. Going forward, use your Panasonic instead when you want to record something you plan to keep (since it has the built-in disc burning function).

The Linux file system in itself is not an issue at all. Plenty of Windows drivers for EXT, etc.
most NAS servers are Linux formatted drives. Video files are video files no matter what the disk file system being used to store them. Nothing special about a video file just because it is stored on an EXT formatted disk, however, if they are encrypted - game over for 99.99% of people.

most NAS servers are Linux formatted drives. True enough in the larger scheme, but it would be an 'issue' for someone who is not in the least technically inclined or savvy with under-the-hood PC tinkering.
Choosing and installing WindowsLinux drivers, or simply booting the PC directly into Linux from a startup DVD, might be a little rough to someone completely unfamiliar with such tasks. Sure, most people could learn, but the motivation has to be there: the typical person who asks about transferring PVR files is hoping for an easy, click-n-drag solution.
Which leads to. Video files are video files no matter what the disk file system being used to store them. Nothing special about a video file just because it is stored on an EXT formatted disk, This depends on what made the video file in the first place. A 'normal' AVI, MP4, MKV etc video file will of course read the same whether the HDD is formatted as Windows, Linux, or Mac HFS. But files created by a TV-PVR system are often stored on HDD as inscrutable file fragments: it can't be assumed that an episode of 'Downton Abbey' will be stored as a single video file or even named 'Downton Abbey.' PVRs tend to use hexadecimal file names, and sometimes you need to scrounge several file segments and reassemble them to create one complete recording. Again, to someone not particularly tech inclined, this can be daunting: not the 'two mouse click' solution they were hoping for.
Whether it is worth the effort to learn that workflow hinges on the recordings and the individual. Given the Samsung TV-PVR interface, I would think most recordings would show up as single intact files in this case, leaving just the Linux file system to deal with. But files created by a TV-PVR system are often stored on HDD as inscrutable file fragments: it can't be assumed that an episode of 'Downton Abbey' will be stored as a single video file or even named 'Downton Abbey.' I was thinking in terms of standard transport stream files. Of course you are right that if the DVR uses a proprietary file format then that is also a game-over condition for 99%.
The Samsung may also use a proprietary format, but once I saw encryption that was a minor concern. Encryption is a sufficient game-over condition. I used a great program a few years ago that could convert pretty much any kind of video file to dvd, it's called VSO ConvertXtoDVD. It isn't a free program but not that expensive either.Of course there's always the chance you could find a serial number online somewhere, but i'd never suggest such a thing (cough).
I haven't had the need to use it in a couple years so i don't know the current status of this program but i'd suggest looking it up.Only one thing about this program, it will only burn one video onto a dvd, not to be used for multiple videos on a disc.

Notice: PVR requires use of internal digital tuner of TV. Dish recording available only for TVs that has DVB-S tuner inside.
So Set top box setups not supported. Ask your Satelite Dish or Cable TV Provider if they allows use of internal tuner with Crypt cards.
