Meanwhile I've a second one with 120GB and use the old one mainly for Svens MTV2-Recordings... And Terabyte would fit perfect for the new HDTV receivers... :-)

If you write bits instead of bytes you would have the perfomance of the 5000/6000 topfield models interfaces... the transfer rate is terribly slowed down by the CPU which has to do the whole work since the chipsset has no hardware support for USB/LAN.

The extention *.rec is used for the TS streams of the newer Topfield models (5xxx,6xxx and probabely the forthcomming 7xxx), which have a different header... and actually I don't know what naming convention is used for splitting them with other tools than TFtool. ciao Ralph ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
