Please ans-Q2-Rephrased-Can a Hard Drive filled with recorded content from the Converter be plugged into a PC and those .mts files played there?

Yes. My LG Blu-Ray player will also play those files. I just remove the USB stick from the iView and plug it into my LG Blu-Ray player at at another TV. The iView allows you to format your USB stick (or USB hard drive) in the NTFS format so files can be larger than 4GB. The current LG Blu-Ray players can also utilize the NTFS format. There's lots of freeware out there that will let you snip segments from the files that you want to keep without re-encoding. They just cut out the segments you don't want and join them into one *.mts. It's fast.

Dwight-I see your question is growing hair so unless it's too late, the answer is yes using either Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center. They should play on a Mac also but I don't know the Apple programs. I watch the programs on my PC almost every day by taking the HDD on the converter and moving it to my PC where I copy the files (though I don't have to) to another disk and then return it. Format is .mts. I use a Buffalo 1T 2.5 USB 2 external HDD. Most any will do.

YES, so long as your media player has the right codecs . Windows Media, VLC and Roxio will all open MTS files

This will work as long as the video files dont have DTS audio. You can plug an external hard drive into the usb port on the side.

Left handed response: any file on your computer can be converted. I make MP3 from YouTube by recording from one computer to Audacity on another computer. No quality is lost. I suppose the Sound Recorder can do this. With Stellar I have only converted one format. That was the only reason I got it. Now I have no use for Stellar. Bruce Winning

Compelled,What is a .m2Ts file? How do I load it to my PC? Do I open ImageMixer first? I am doing something wrong because after hours of working at it I finally got some video transferred to DVD but it will not play in my DVD player. When I use ImageMixer Player it plays back choppy and with horizontal lines running through the whole thing. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

It won't be an ideal fit, but you should be able to install the drive without the converter. If the computer shows the drive, it's a problem with the converter, if not you may need to reformat the drive.

Great question, I can't get that specific. I pulled a heard drive out of an old laptop and it has worked fine. Don't want to get that specific though. Good luck.

you should be able to as long as it is not flac files that are going through as USB 2.0 are a bit slow for them.

Only the MZ-M200 and MZ-RH1 have the ability to digitally transfer *any* MD recording to a PC, and only on windows, and only using the Sonic Stage software. Other HiMD recorders can upload recordings made on that Unit to a PC.

Unfortunately no. I have to make recordings on another desktop that does support "What U Hear" through its internal sound system. Then transfer them to the desktop w/ the SoundBlaster card.

For clarification for my understanding, can it record to another system, or record a file in memory then FTP transfer the file to a PC supporting FTP services?

Yes, you could but it would record them as MPEG files on DVD meaning they would have the sound but blank video, unless of course you queued up some other video and video source and captured that while playing back your records. This device would be overkill for the purpose you describe. Instead, but a cheap audio capture card for your PC, one that has stereo input (not just mono mic). It will have a red and a white set of RCA plugs as input. Then, use that card and PC software to capture your turntables output and record it to your hard disk...as WAV files and MP3 if you select.

Lawrence/Melton, thanks for the info! I am thinking about .atrac for nostalgic reasons. Some years down the road, when Sony folds and ATRAC becomes public domain, perhaps ATRAC files will be more playable.. ;) But looks like PCM/WAV is the way to go, as someone else mentioned that I will be transcoding the audio if I save it as ATRAC3+. So I will probably just do PCM and convert it to FLAC for archival and playback. The CDs will be for giving to my relatives so they can play it on any CD player. Not as a storage/archival medium. That'll be on my RAID harddrive. I am picturing another scenario. After all these work (and $$$ to buy the MZ-M200) to upload a pristine copy of the recording to my computer, and put the MD away for storage in my attic/craw space, something happens and I lose the copy on my raided HD, the copy on my RAID NAS, the copy on my offline HD, and the copy on my offsite storage, and I am back to square one, bidding on an MZ-R200 from ebay (as I've probably sold mine), paying dearly, to do this all over again. ;) Well, of course this won't happen, as I can probably still hunt down the copy I gave to my relative, but the thoughts have occurred to me. ;) In the end, I think the MD would've cost me more than if I had purchased a professional DAT player in the first place. There are so much that can be said about why MD failed and how utterly stupid Sony is, I am not going to say anything other than Steve Jobs is the best answer to Sony's paranoia about copy protection. Protected a few pennies, but missed out on billions.

No I don't think you can. Check out verbatim media share or Kingston media lite

I have no idea. We use this unit at church to record the worship services and that's it. We don't use any of it's dubbing features. However, for it to do what you want it to do, I believe it would need either some sort of internal hard drive or multiple drive bays; neither of which this unit has. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

Hi! I've brought songs that had been recorded by my Sony recorder to computer...onto a CD with no problem.Hope this helps! I love its quality!

The short answer is no. The files are encrypted & locked to the specific receiver so they can't be copied. The longer answer is yes, but not exactly what you're thinking. If you have a video capture device, you could play them back and capture them as video files on a computer. There are a few video capture devices that have component input and can do this. It can't be done via any HDMI device I've seen because it would violate the copy protection rules of HDMI. Down side is you have to play the shows back to transfer them to computer via the capture device. There is no other way. Slow, cumbersome, & you can't watch anything else while playing the shows back to capture them as PC files. Yes you could do it, but its not worth the time, effort, & expense.

It's not really a converter but you can output to mpeg, avi, adobe flash video, windows media, quick time, and also to the ipod etc... And yes you definitely can burn your HD mts files to standard DVD. But if you want to do a lot of HD editing you will need a powerful computer, above the minimum requirements set by adobe.
