How to remove drm protection from pvr files?I recently purchased a Samsung UA46C7000 3d TV. Im pretty happy with the picture quality however im really pissed about the misleading information Samsung provided on their website.They claim, quote: 'Record your favourite HD TV shows by plugging in a USB memory drive or HDD into the TV’s USB port.
Simply select which show to record, download them onto the drive, and then plug the drive into a PC. Now you can watch your favourite shows in HD wherever you go!' This would seem pretty straight forward, right?
Samsung formats the hard drive when its plugged into the TV and this format is something a PC cant recognise.After speaking with Samsung customer service (one Gentleman was extremely rude) they have informed me this is an error on their website as you can NOT view recorded data on your PC. Another note for people looking for the PVR feature in their Samsung TV. You can only record the exact length of the TV show. This means if your show goes over the allocated time slot by 5 minutes, then you will miss the end of your show. Every other PVR i have used allows you to select time after the show to record, say an extra 15 minutes after the allocated time. Samsungs response to this was 'record the show after as well, then you wont miss the end'.Does anyone know a way to view the Samsung formatted hard drive on a PC? Looks like they've recently changed the description for that feature on their website, since it's still in google cache.No mention of PC playback now: Simply plug in your USB memory and HDD and select the channel, time, and date in the menu and let PVR feature do the rest, allowing you to watch your favourite shows anytime you want.
From the manual: Recorded videos are DRM (digital rights management) protected and cannot be played on a PC or other TVs, nor can they be played when the main board of the TV is changed. Data broadcasts cannot be recorded.Is the computer unable to recognise the USB stick itself or the recorded format? If the latter, what is the format extension? Is there any reason you have to watch the recorded shows on your computer instead of – you know – your 3k TV? Its still up on the Samsung website.
Have a look at this link: Its about half way down under the heading 'REC Extended PVR' Is the computer unable to recognise the USB stick itself or the recorded format? If the latter, what is the format extension?The Computer is unable to recognise the USB hard drive.
Is there any particular reason you have to watch the recorded shows on your computer instead of – you know – your 3k TV? Its principle of the matter. The TiVo has the capability to record then watch on PC, so it cant be the law that is holding it back. If you install linux From the Sammy site: Record your favourite HD TV shows by plugging in a USB memory drive or HDD into the TVs USB port.Simply select which show to record, download them onto the drive, and then plug the drive into a PC. Now you can watch your favourite shows in HD wherever you go! It's supposed to be easy for people.
Not installing Linux and then accessing the files. If you have another C7000 TV, the Hard drive is unable to be read and is formatted to the TV it was formatted on.
Another frustrating thing. But, in saying this, it's a single tuner PVR built in.However, you save having another device hanging off it! Once the show is recorded, press the record button again, to tell the TV what recording length you want.It prompts this once you press record. I have a TiVo too, but, if you want better features, I'd suggest purchase a dedicated PVR or wait until the better (or worse:) ) firmware is released. How much have you used the PVR?
I have tried this and it only works if you are recording the show that is currently on the TV. I am having trouble with the PVR function of recording a program in the future. For example if I want to record 2 and a half men tomorrow at 7:00, it will only allow me to record 7:00-7:30.I have managed to get the SRF files off the hard drive and into Windows. I used information from the following link to setup VMWare Player (start from the hearding 'Linux Mint on VMWare Player'). Then just clicked and dragged from VMWare to Windows.
The only Windows program I have that can recognise the SRF files is VLC. It opens the file and recognises the name of the show (in the title bar), however doesnt play and video or music. Anyone got any ideas to view these SRF files.I also think its interesting that Samsung chose to use the SRF extension, which is a raw digital camera format for Sony (Sony Raw Format). I recently bought a C7000, and want to buy a HDD to use to record TV to. Just wondering if anyone has tried using non-wall powered USB HDD's? I was initially thinking of buying a $100 1TB HDD from Officeworks or HN, but wanted to confirm first whether the USB (non-wall powered) HDD's work, and if so, they have the benefit of a smaller footprint, and I save having to use another power outlet.Two other Questions: 1 – what is best way to format the HDD?
NTFS or Fat32? Is one preferable to the other, and if so, why?
2 – is it better to get 5200rpm or 7200rpm HDD? Does the greater speed offer a potential increase in playback performance?
I have no interest in being able to watch the TV I record on my Desktop or laptop. Just want to watch it back on the 3K LED TV screen for now.Two other Questions: 1 – what is best way to format the HDD? NTFS or Fat32?

Just want to watch it back on the 3K LED TV screen for now.There is no problem using a USB powered HDD with the C7000. I have the WD My Passport 750Gb which is USB powered and works great (just dont use a USB hub or a long cheap USB extension lead). 1 – Format doesn't matter as the TV will format the whole hard drive before it can be used as a PVR.2 – Im not sure of the speed of mine, however I wouldnt have thought it would make an difference. Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. I have further questions, do you know if any of the USB’s on the TV support USB 3.0 (as opposed to the standard USB 2.0)?
I’m trying to decide between buying the Samsung G3 Station or the Samsung Story Station external HDD.The G3 station ONLY supports USB 2.0, whereas the Story Station supports USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. I’m interested in whether by potentially using USB 3.0, it will offer better overall playback PQ of HD channel content. USB 2.0 (Up to 480Mbps) USB 3.0 (Up to 5Gbps) Please let me know if you have any ideas? And whether playback PQ of HD content via USB 2.0 is satisfactory?
Thanks PS – Now that you've had the TV for a while, are you happy with the performance of the built in PVR software, or considering buying a separate PVR unit? Playback quality of the recorded HD TV is fine with my USB 2.0 HD.I wouldnt have thought the Samsung TVs would support USB 3.0 anyway (although im not 100% sure). PS – Now that you've had the TV for a while, are you happy with the performance of the built in PVR software, or considering buying a separate PVR unit? I would still like to see the option to allow you to record longer then the scheduled time slot. Because lots of TV shows go over time and if they do and your recording you will miss the end.
This is a pretty simple feature the built in PVR is missing. Other then that its fine. Perhaps Samsung will improve the PVR software with a future firmware/software update to allow manual programming of time beyond scheduled time slots?I will definitely email them to request that this feature be added, maybe if they receive enough emails they will act. By the way, have you tried doing a firmware update yet? I've noticed that the program guide can be very very slow when using the remote control arrows to scroll up or down.
I find that it often pauses for up to 5 seconds or longer, which is frustrating. I hope they fix this problem with a future firmware update.I suspect that the extended PVR function doesn't use a standard PC format like FAT32 or NTFS I bought a Samsung 1.5TB USB HDD earlier today. My C7000 asked to format it, and I noticed that while it was formatting it said: VFAT Obviously VFAT is something slightly different to FAT32 or NTFS, however I've not had time to research that yet. Overall the PVR on the C7000 is very basic. It just records the TV show, and there is no way to select it to record an extra 5mins at the end, in case a show runs longer than scheduled. Also, when recording, you canno't change channel. If you try you are prompted with a message asking whether you want to cancel the current recording.Also, I'm not aware of how to remove the word 'recording' in red in the top right hand corner once it is in recording mode.
Does anyone know how to do this? I would like to try emailing Samsung to enquire as to whether the PVR software will be improved at some stage with the much needed addition of more sophisticated functionality.If they say no, then I will probably consider getting a PVR with 2 or more HD tuners built in.
You would think all these TV's will come standard with 2-3 HD tuners plus 1TB or more (perhaps 10TB) standard storage.The Samsung screens are so thin, they could easily add some built in hard drive space onto the back of the screens as standard. Could always super-glue 4 X 2TB HDD on to the back, take a picture and send to Samsung as an example of how they can further enhance there TV's for practical long term use. Question: does the PVR work so (eg) if youre out, it will turn on and record a show for you, or must you be there at the time to turn it on – so its basically just a time shifter? The PVR only works if the TV is turned on.I'm not aware of whether it can be setup to turn on automatically, but I doubt this is possible.
Also, if you turn off the TV while it is recording a TV show, you lose the entire recording from the start. The Samsung external HDD I bought does not have a power button, and only turns on or off in synch with the TV. Something strange occurred last night, while testing I programmed in 3 shows to be recorded in a row: Masterchef The Good Wife House However, it recorded them all but labelled each one wrongly, as if time shifted one back!!! Masterchef = Merlin The Good Wife = Masterchef House = The Good Wife Not sure whey this happened, or how it can be fixed, will need to possibly contact Samsung, and do further testing.Has anyone done a FIRMWARE update yet on the C7000?
If so, did it improve generally the performance of the sluggish software interface?I'm not aware of whether it can be setup to turn on automatically, but I doubt this is possible. My sony can turn itself on, it has a reminder function that can be set – if you don't have it on the right channel or if it isn't on when the show comes on that you set the reminder for it will turn itself on to the right channel for the show at the right time according to the FTA EPG does the samsung telly only record the channel you are watching, or can you watch another channel (or an AV input) while it is recording? It's only a matter of time before tellys come with proper fully functional PVRs built in – but i'm not sure this is a really good idea or not, if the PVR carks it and needs fixing chances are you need a home visit to fix it, that could be quite costly in itself also it might affect the telly function and so you could be without telly and PVR until it's fixed. I recall looking at my device information and it was XFS. I could be wrong and may have misread, but I can double check tonight. Either way, something will be able to read it.
I'm sure there will be a Windows driver for the.I think you may find the filesystem is Linux based. The extension on the video files is SRF. I have managed to copy the SRF files to Windows however I cant find anything that will allow me to play them. Also if you setup recording then switch your TV off it will still record the show (without switching the TV back on. The recording symbol in the top left corner is very annoying and I dont know how to remove it.
I confirmed that my Windows PC can't read the recording disk created by the TV.I didn't try the linux route. I could actually use the same physical disk for recording and media playing by partitioning it into a recording partition and an NTFS partition. The Extended PVR function only seems to let one record immediately or timer record from the EPG. This a huge problem if you want to record say the 3D broadcast at 4am of a World Cup semi final. The 3D Trial channel doesn't have an EPG (at least not on LCN 40 here in Sydney) and if I was going to be awake at 4am to press record then I wouldn't have to program a timer would I? All Samsung has to do is let the user specify a manual timer or edit an existing one. That's what I'm used to with my Beyonwiz PVR.If I want to record the soccer I'd set a timer for SBS1 then edit it and change the service to the 3D Trial channel.
If the user could manually edit the timer they could also add post padding instead of recording the following show in the EPG (assuming there is one). I agree that the on screen recording symbol being permanently on during a recording is ridiculous. It's in the top left hand corner and likely to cover the score if you are watching and recording the football or tennis.The automatic time shift feature is nice – pity you can't seem to save the recording that's in the buffer (unlke my Wiz). It wasn't that obvious where to activate the automatic time shift buffer.
Had to go into the recorded TV shows and it was buried in the preferences accessed by pressing Tools. Would have been useful to put 'Timeshift' in the index of the printed manual. One sensible feature – at least when the TV was in standby and a recording timer fired, the TV display didn't turn on but the recording still went to the USB HDD. My first impression of this 'Extended PVR' feature is that it should have been called 'Reduced PVR'.

HAS ANYONE TRIED A FIRMWARE UPDATE YET?
If so, any noticeable improvements? Does anyone know a way to view the Samsung formatted hard drive on a PC?I've plugged in a 320gb WD 2.5' and it works perfectly for basic recording. However, there is a catch. The PS50C7000 needs to format the HDD first, but then the HDD is not recognised when plugged into a PC or an iMac running SL. If you format it as MS-DOS (FAT), it is then not recognised by the C7000.
So it makes it useless as far as transferring movies or photos from computer to c7000. Maybe it can be done via a network connection.Anyway I'm thinking of buying a NAS e.g. Synology to stream DVDs from my iMac to the C7000.
Any ideas anyone? So is there anyway around this for a windows 7 based system? There's no way I'm going to install linux just to watch recorded TV on my PC. Hahahah hahahaha hahaha Resistance is futile, Linux is taking over:) Hahahah hahahaha hahaha Sorry, couldn't resist.On a more serious note, I'd take it back and tell them to stick their DRM crap up their cake hole! Get your self a linux box with a couple of nice DVB dual head cards and record to your hearts content with no issues. Been doing it here for ever:) Hahahah hahahaha hahaha. Lame answer from Samsung: Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Care.
Unfortunately, we do not have control over the EPG as it is data transmitted from the stations themselves. If they do not send out the relevant data then the TV will not process it and hence you will no be able to record. Samsung eventually wrote back (after all the 3D trial broadcasts were over) and explained that manual timers are indeed possible.It's buried in the menu system and not obvious from the manual. Press Menu Scroll to Channel Select Channel Manager Highlight the channel to record Press Tools Timer Recording.

Samsung Tv Pvr Drm Removal
Have been looking for this and could not find it in the manual.A little complicated to remember, but the universal remote Macro takes care of most of it. But.then there is no option for the start-stop timer, just the same as if doing this from the EPG when the Guide button is pressed. (at least with my C750 model and the latest firmware upgrade).
Works on C8000 model. Sorry to bring up an oldish thread but, can anyone explain to me what the automatic time-shift thing does, as opposed to manual.Bit dissapointed with my samsung tv and its limited pvr functionality. Oh well heres hoping to a firmware update fixing it up.Sorry I missed your whim and that post. Manual timeshift is when you have to manually press pause first for the TV to start recording the current service to HDD (typically to go to the toilet or answer the phone). With automatic timeshift the TV always records the current service to HDD. Unless you are concerned about wear and tear on the HDD or power consumption I can't see much point in not having time shifting on automatically. With auto timeshifting, if you didn't quite hear what someone said or just turned away when someone took a wicket, you can quickly jump back a few seconds and have your own instant replay.Most people with a PVR would use this every day.
My recollection was that the auto timeshift was not on by default and it was buried deep in the menu system but at least it was documented in the manual (unlike the manual timer).What angers me more about the whole thing is that I've been recording heaps of stuff over time yet it seems that as soon as this TV breaks, my recordings will be useless if I get a replacement TV. No different to a 'proper' PVR's HDD failing.you lose all recordings. I'm not so sure about it being a marketing con vs people not understanding the functionality properly. PVR functionality built-in on TVs is very limited in it's use and can in no way match the functionality of a dedicated twin tuner PVR. But even dedicated PVRs 'lock' their recordings to the device (Freeview or disc playing PVRs from Samsung and Panasonic). Best bet is a Topfield or Beyonwiz unit IMO.bothnevada.
