Recording HBO with firewire

[superdud1400]

Ok so i recorded a tv show and once it was done it was 6gigs but when i went to play it, it said there was no video stream. So if there was no video stream why would it be 6gigs? My guess is there is some kind of video protection or something so does anyone have a software that can take it off? (I could upload a quick sample so someone can play around with it if you want)

Premium channels are locked. No digital transferring will be possible.

Then how come it came out to be 6gigs?

Any program can put 6 GB of junk in a file.

But seriously its encrypted crap - its data but you can't access it.

There is a way: figure out what the 5c decryption key is in your cable box, figure out the 5c decryption algorithm, then decrypt the video!

And go directly to jail - do not pass go - do not collect 200.00

But he'll be a hero if he goes open source!

As long as you're willing to let others do the recording work for you, clever people might be able to obtain their HBO programming through alternate means of distribution such as P2P or Usenet.

@jman98: Those "alternate means of distribution" are illegal, and not (as you ought to know by now) anything discussed (and even less recommended) at VideoHelp
