Trouble recording to a USB drive -- it starts all right, creates files on the drive, but then "RIPP TO" indicator goes off &amp; drives stay empty. Ideas?

I had a similar problem when when I tried to use an 8gb stick, try using a 1gb or smaller

I have the QIP 7232 and I was able to get it working by using The Grinch's directions - you do have to wait to plug it in. Mine didn't actually start recording until I formatted the drive (settings - external drive - format). Seems to be working ok now. Thanks, Grinch.

I'm unsure, however, I have connected a USB3 hard drive to the unit. I've found that even passport drives work well with the unit as it relates to recording even HD video and being used as a DRV. The only devise that seems to have issues when recording are the slower flash drives/USB Sticks

Is it ( the memory card) recognized by the computer when it''s plugged in? If not likely a cable/connection problem. Is the USB port working? Try a thumbdrive with files already on it.

Unfortunately, my understanding is that the USB port is only for firmware updates or for inputting content from a USB stick. It cannot be used for outboard memory, nor to export content to a computer. If only it did... This thing is truly a one-dimensional device. I, too, have a DVD recorder with a tuner with which I can record off-air programming directly to DVD, but that proved to be an enormous pain when trying to capture all the episodes of even only two series. At least with the DVR I don't have piles of disks lying around. Sorry to be the bearer of less-than-desirable tidings.

Almost sounds like a faulty drive. I would try plugging it into a different computer. If it still doesn't work you'll want to return it.

What have you tried for transfering the photos? I've never had a problem loading pictures with my USB, as well as by simply loading my memory stick into an sd converter. I'm really not sure I'll be able to answer if those two options do not work.

It rips to the hard drive fine but I am having problems making an Audio CD with it. Could just be the formatting. =] Good luck!

USB cable or set the recorder up through the menu settings to record to SD card and pull it off with that.

You know, I never got past the recording feature not working. I didn't buy it as a conventional USB flash drive. I did not have issues using it in my computer but never created anything on it (so there was nothing I erased either).

Hi, If the Tiny little red light is on it is recording, Make sure you have it set to one minute in recording options not five Minutes. Files will be to large to load. This video should help.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-dfvPX0dOs

Hi, sorry to hear about that. I used mine just to copy a HDD once and it worked fine, I haven't used after that.

How did you format it and what type is it? The cheap ones will not work, I found there is actually a big difference in the quality of USB sticks and its no surprise the cheap ones don't even get recognized by MMI....

Thanks Dean, the drive was working so the format is probably OK. When you plug in the USB the charge light comes on but the data side is obviously not working as the drive is not recognised. You can hear the disks spinning but they are very quiet. Thanks again for your help. Regards: Brendan

Have you been able to connect to your computer? I used their program but it is not even recognizing the device. I think their usb cable is defective. huh. I have had nothing but trouble with the pictures. the video direct burner is fine though, if you don't need to edit.

It wouldn't record for me either. Unfortunately, I ended up just returning it. Sorry, I can't be of any help.

Seems to be limited to USB2.0. Also as someone already noticed it doesn't seem to support large external drives. I wasn't able to get either of my 3TB drives to work. All usb thumbdrives worked though.
