DVR video to PC?

[MUEng92]

I recorded the last MU game on my Time Warner HD DVR.  At one point my cousin's daughter was shown and if it isn't too difficult, I wanted to transfer these 5 secs. of video to my PC to show the family outside Milwaukee.

Any suggestions for how to do this?

Titan can do this, I think.  He got my buddy picking his nose on espn a few years back.

Refernces are available from dodds.

The quickest solution is .. get our your video camera .. play the clip and record it on your videocam.  It's low tech, low-quality, but you won't need cables or other equipment.

(Assuming you edit your video cam stuff on your PC...)

Didn't know you were tight with Tom Kleinschmidt.

Here are the instructions I recently used to transfer HD video from a Comcast Motorola DVR to my PC.  It's a pretty old link, but it worked.  Not sure if TW has the same hardware as Comcrap.  You need a firewire cable too.

Be advised, it takes up a lot of hard drive space.  I transferred the last 30 min of game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals (OT and cup celebration) and it used up 3.5 GB.

When I used to put together video highlights I had basic cable and a small box that came with my computer which allowed me to plug the cable right into my computer.  The videos saved right on my computer's hard drive.

Now I have DirecTV though and would love to know if there was a way to get things off the DVR.

You'll need a video capture card on your PC.  It's pretty easy.  I also have a DVD recorder and archive a lot of stuff that way from my HD DVR.
