Recording onto USB stick from TV ?

miggiwoo

I wonder if any kind person has any ideas where I might be going wrong or if its just not possible.

am trying to transfer footage from an old camcorder (mini- DV) onto a USB stick , to then put onto my netbook/MP4 etc

Have got a Digitrex TV with USB recording facility and am able to record onto the USB stick ok .My problem seems to be that when I put in the camcorder and view it on TV(via scart or AV) and try to record the footage onto USB , it only records ITV1 onto it and nothing else.

Is there anything obvious that I might be missing ?

Thanks for any replies

I strongly suspect the TV is only capable of recording from it's Tuner, not one of the auxiliary inputs (such as the scart).

or your settings in the tv menu system are not being saved, aux channels etc.
More than likely though you can "read" from the usb drive not "write" to it

Those ones can only record from broadcast TV (i.e. digital TV), not from another input.

firewire cards are cheap (if you don't have one), assuming your camcorder has a firewire output
