I will send parts of the mpg if you want to look. When burning to a dvd the content gets decrypted in real time, no high speed dubbing is possible.
Do you think it's possible to figure out which encryption it uses? Since it's a 20+ year old recorder i'm guessing it can't use some hard encryption.
The filesystem is HDDFS v0.01 which seems to be used by some other dvd recorders but no program can read it, isobuster will find a 150gb mpg file with some .ifo files ]]> c24 https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/421292-Sony-HDD-DVD-Recorder-encrypted-recordings https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/421283-aspiredigital-AD-8091?goto=newpost Sun, 18 Oct 2026 22:01:01 GMT I have this model and I used to use only DVD-R to record and finalize.

Does anyone have the zipped file or an iso copy of the Philips CD?
Many thanks. ]]> bot https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/421245-Firmware-for-Philips-DVDR3570H-and-DVDR3590H
