THANKS medford25 05-25-2007, 12:33 PM Hello everyone, does anybody knows or tried the CS 7000 PVR, does it record on AVI files or MPEG 2 or 1 or both on an external harddrive connected to it? i would appreciate any idea, i'm planning to grab one myself. THANKS only MPEG , hard drive format is fat32 . digimonx 05-26-2007, 07:05 AM My understanding is that it can not do more than 1 hour recording at a time because FAT32 file system has a file size limit. The extension of the recorded file is .TS Media Player Classic can playback those files out of the box and it is available for download for free at hxxp://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303&package_id=84358 Cheers. digimonx 05-26-2007, 07:58 AM Just want to make a correction to my previous post. There is definitely a files size limit, but it is not 1 hour. I will post back when I have enough recording experience. Cheers. digimonx 05-26-2007, 08:08 AM Others say it does 1 hour recording per 1 GB of attached USB storage. It does make sense to me now :) I had 1GB flash drive plugged in... Cheers. H8THATRU 05-26-2007, 08:11 AM Recording format is .TS, right now it has a 2hr limit on recording. Somesay that its a bin issue and can be fixed others say its a fat32 issue and thats just how it is. I belive it can be fixed to extend past the 2hr limit but I am not an expert on fat32 or writing bins. Just have to wait and see. digimonx 05-26-2007, 08:14 AM I found out that file size limit for FAT32 file system is 4GB, so, you can have up to 4 hours recording on Coolsat 7000. digimonx 05-26-2007, 08:18 AM I doubt I will ever record anything bigger than 4 GB / 4 hours, but if the limit is actually 2 hours, it is not good... :( I guess the only way to find out about the limit is to try... cdawg786 05-29-2007, 03:10 PM bump Has anyone found the limit/file for the coolsat reciever? reason i'm asking is that i'm planing to get one of these and if anyone has any comments on the total file size we can record per event/file as well as picture quality i'd appreciate it. Razg 05-29-2007, 04:33 PM its 2hrs ,enough for 1 movie Razg 05-29-2007, 04:44 PM I doubt I will ever record anything bigger than 4 GB / 4 hours, but if the limit is actually 2 hours, it is not good... :( I guess the only way to find out about the limit is to try... Actually 4gb is less than 2 hrs,a 2 hr recording should fit nicely on 1 dvd(4.7GB) |
