How do I transfer files from my Motorola DCT6416 III to a PC? I use firewire. But what about drivers/sofware?

Question

I did google research and never got a stright simple answer.

Answer 1

Those ports on that unit are mostly for future use & not supported for any file transfer by the manufacturer.

There ae lots of forum threads out there concerning this issue but no one as of yet has posted any software solution to the problem.

A workaround would be to add a capture card to your PC & connect the Motorola directly to the card. You could then "capture" any video output from the Motorola PVR via the card & save it as an MPEG on your PC.
