HDR2 file format

[Madskp]

Does anyone know what file format a HDR2 harddisk recorder use and if the files from the disk can be read on a PC or Mac if the disk is connected to them?

Better to ask the manufacturer?

Well, the innnards might not be B&O, and guess that B&O support might not know much about this product now.

However reading about the topic for other brands, it sounds like the filesystem on a harddisk recorder might be properitary at not easily (if at all) readable on a computer, so might look for other methods of transfer

I took apart an old SkyHD decoder about a year ago and tried connecting the Hard Drive to my PC.  I couldn’t read any files, but downloaded some software called ExPVR to decode the files – this worked and I could view the contents, but it was tricky to use and I am always a bit suspicious of free software.

Once you know the file type (and possibly the make of the innards if not B&O), you may be able to find similar software for decoding purposes.
