I'll reload everything you put up (100 downloads each time). You
can
upload the entire match if you want!
In fact I'll give you my account :)

The raw match is just under 8gb. Perfect size for a DVD-9, but a
little
big for uploading, and I don't fancy re-encoding 5 hours+ to XVID :-)

Appreciate the upload help. It's got 20 minutes left to encode, and
I'm
guessing it will take around 50 minutes to an hour to upload, so keep
an
eye out for it.

What do you mean saying "raw" match?
Are you talking about the video format (assuming it was not realtime
encoded in divx/bivx/xvid/matroska whatsoever!)?
I guess it was recorder using the HD of your sat-decoder, I am right?
Or do you mean that the file includes all adversting crap every two
games
:o) ?

I record/save via DVB-C, which gives me the raw MPEG2 broadcast stream.
It
happens to be DVD compliant straight out of the box, so to speak, so I
don't
need to re-encode. I just edit out the ads and save it to a DVD-R for a
100%
copy of the original broadcast. Much better than skanky, consumer-grade
DVD
recorders or XVID/DIVX. I only re-encode the highlights to XVID for the
benefit of the RST'ers.

So do you have a special card in your machine to capture the dvb-c ?
Which one ?

No card needed. My delicious cable box connects to my PC via ethernet.

Hmm. Hadn't thought of that. I normally just record to my Panasonic DVR
recorder, but you do lose quality at SP record speed, though not much.

On the back of my Comcast DVR/HD box, I have the following:

2 IEEE 1934 ports

1 SATA port

1 Ethernet port

1 HDMI

1 USB port

Does HDMI work even better, or is that connection just for my HD TV?

HDMI is for HDTV.


If it's as simple as just connecting an Ethernet cable between the two,
what happens next? I assume your Cable converter box would appear in My
Computer, just a camera would when connecting through USB.

Then what? Also, what software do you use?

I still have a new 300G hard drive that I've yet to install. But if it's a
viable option, I'd love to record the French Open on my computer and try
to create DVD's that way.

You can't do it with an official cable box. I don't know enough about US
cable systems to offer any specific advice, but I do know there are various
cable ripper sites around that tell you how to modify certain cable boxes to
save whatever is on the DVR/HD to your PC with no loss of quality, but it
often requires extensive modification of the box itself, so if the cable
company owns the box, you could get in trouble.

So, you buy a special ripper's box somewhere . . . ?

Or did you build yer own?
