Is there any way to connect a Motorola DCT6214 pvr to an DVD recorder via firewire...??? Has anyone done this...???
I've read an how to on connecting the Motorola to a PC via firewire and I know how to connect a DVD recorder via composite or s-video... But I'm curious if it can be done via firewire...
Both my Liteon 5005 recorder and Motorola 6214 pvr have firewire ports... According to the Motorola's setup firewire is enabled and is using firmware 10.10....
Any thoughts...????
Cheers

I know I needed drivers for my XP box when I did this, so I would guess that the DVD Recorder wouldn't work.

I don't believe "bulldog" in those posts linked above. A DVD recorder's Firewire input is for DV video only. It doesn't accept the MPEG TS streams that are exported from the Motorola box via Firewire. The Motorola's Firewire link does work with JVC D-VHS recorders, which in turn can export the captured video via S-video to a DVD recorder.

This person claims MythTV supports recording to a PC via firewire... He also claims the Motorola outputs raw mpegII via firewire...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but new software has made Windows Media Center capable of using a Motorola STB as a tuner with Windows Vista and upcoming Windows 7.
Take a look:
