[mythtv-users] Partly OT - recording DCT-6412 content via firewire onto Linux box.

[N Dugas]

Hi all,

I've managed to get my Gentoo box (new Myth box in process of being 
built) to be able to see my DCT-6412.  Recently, I recorded a PPV and 
would like to x-fer it to my PC to offload some PVR content (to make 
space for my series recordings).  Until now, I've been able to play back 
the content and use test-mpeg2 to record it.  With this PPV, I get a 0 
length file.  For fun, I stoped playback of my PPV recording and changed 
channel.  The file size started increasing.  Is there a way for me to 
tell if my recording is protected and therefore will not play over the 
firewire port?

On the same note, could I record a PPV when I order it with Myth instead 
of on my 6412?

Thanks,
Norm
