Archiving Humax hard drive recording.?

It's complicated - the basic answer is

1. Plug in External Hard Drive/Flash stick and copy recording to it

2. Copy onto PC

3. Using the appropriate software edit out the bits you want

4. Convert to DVD format

5. Burn to Disk.

Alas if the recording is in HD there's no point trying as the recording is encrypted and can only be played on the device it was recorded on.

If it's SD and over about 2 1/2 hours then it's probably more than 4GB so you can't copy it to a normal windows PC formated disk (FAT32/FAT16). You need to have the disk/stick formated as Ext3 which is a Linux format. (I suspect from your question you don't have Linux lying around).

Unfortunately the Humax doesn't allow editing of recordings so you can't edit it before you try and copy it.

A piece of software which is free (Although it does put ads on the front) is called Sothink DVD Maker

this allows you to trim your recording (you'd have to put the same recording on several times and trim bits off the front an back of each section) and then convert the whole lot to DVD format an burn it.
