Convert PVR files to DVD

[oigle]

I have numerous video files on the Hard Drive of a Topfield 7100PVRt and I want to transfer a number of them to DVD discs. When I use WS-Ftp I can do this but it is too slow. I have tried moving the files from the PVR to an external WD Hard Drive but then I am unable to copy or move them onto the computer- error 'File not found'. although they show up in Windows Explorer.
The files are Ext2 and WS-ftp shows them as having attributes -rw-r-r-.
Windows Explorer shows no attributes and cannot change the attributes.
I would like to get the files onto my computer harddrive so that I can edit them and then burn the resulting video to a DVD.

How can I do this? What software program/s will I need?

There is a Topfield forum in Australia, not as good as the old one before the new distributor took over but that's the best area IMO. Otherwise I guess you could ask in the off topic section of the Beyonwiz forum as there are more than a few Linux experts, and generally the forum is pretty open unlike the Topfield. Otherwise there is the UK forum which I found useful before I changed over to Beyonwiz

Thank you for the reply. I have found a free program called 'Ext2 Explore' which has enabled me to achieve my intention.
I did not find any help on the Toppy Forum either au or uk.
