TUTORIAL For Burning PVR Files to a DVD
Created by Nick Prosper

This is a very handy little trick, if your like me and you need to have every UFC event recorded put on DVD or every NHL game possible to help your old private torrent sites...then you'll be hooked on this and youll have your own high end quality video library at your fingertips!

For PVR, the STB calls for a Linux formatted USB device, so unless it's a Linux E2FS formatted USB stick, it ain't gonna happen. You can format your device on a running Linux system or take a look at my other tutorial on here for recording on a vs pro with a USB flash drive. Format your hardware first and test it to make sure it records before proceeding.

Insert hardware and wait until your VS Pro detects it.

FAT32, which is the native USB Stick Format, is used for MP3's and stuff like that... not for PVR. PVR uses EXT2/ E2FS

Safe and easy way to burn PVR files to dvd!

Needed programs:

1.Videoredo
2. TMPGEnc DVD Author
3. Nero or any program that burn DVD-VIDEO files

Step 1

• Copy your video from the E2FS Linux partition on your hard drive to the fat32 Windows partition.
• Menu - File manager, choose file copy to fat 32 partition

Step 2

Now we have to get the file off the drive onto your PC. I find the best and most reliable method is as follows.

• Connect drive to PC. Open the root folder of the drive. Find video file and right click on it and choose OPEN WITH-VideoRedo.
• Do all the editing you need and then Choose FILE-SAVE VIDEO AS. This takes like 2 minutes (or longer depending on your PC) to encode.

Step 3

It’s now time to authorized your dvd compliant mpeg to DVD-VIDEO FILES.

• open TMPGEnc DVD Author. Open your saved videoredo file
• Create menu (optional)
• Click the Output tab and choose where to save the new DVD-VIDEO file folder
• Click START OUTPUT

Step 4

Now open Nero or any burning rom that’ll burn DVD-VIDEO files.

Nero express

• Video/pictures – DVD-VIDEO FILES- add all the files in your TMPGEnc DVD Author created VIDEO_TS folder and burn away.

You're now finished. Go enjoy your DVD!
