Dvr Video

How can I transfer video from my DVR to my computer?

I have the Super Bowl on my comcast dvr and I'm getting directv soon. How can I get that video off of my dvr and save it somewhere else, like my computer? Is there any way to do this?

If, on the rare chance, your computer has A/V or S-video inputs, you can hook up your DVR directly to your computer and use a video capture software to save your recorded content.

Your system probably doesn't have those inputs, though, so you'd have to buy something like the Video and Audio Capture Device from ADS Tech. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815255011&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Video+Devices+++TV+Tuners-_-ADS+Technologies-_-15255011

You then hook up your DVR to your computer using the VACD as a feedthrough and use video capture software like I mentioned above.

One thing, though, when you're recording onto your computer you'll have to just let the Superbowl play. You can't fast forward to make it go quicker or you'll just end up with a video file of your DVR fast forwarding through the Superbowl.

The VACD also comes with software that will let you burn your transferred video onto a disc, so you could preserve Roethlisberger's pass to Santonio Holmes for all eternity on a DVD.
