Question DVR hard drive.
I have a hard drive from a DVR. I have it installed in a Linux OS where it is recognized. I am able to get the information off of it, however, I do not know how to convert it to be able to copy it to a watchable DVD. Any suggestions?

I'd guess it's probably not going to happen, at least without some custom software. Each DVR maker has their own way of storing content. Back when I had a TiVo, there was a whole suite of utilities to pull the video content off and convert it to something that you could watch on your PC or burn to a DVD. It was a pretty complicated process then, and I have no reason to believe another DVR would be any simpler.
