If this files are encrypted there is nothing we can do about it, but if they are not, you need to use tools like avisynth + LSMASHSource to open it, also make sure you set your explorer to see file extensions:

Code:video=LWLibavVideoSource("D:\.2019 Nov 22_2319_0.str") audio=LWLibavAudioSource("D:\.2019 Nov 22_2319_0.str") AudioDub(video, audio)

can you tell me then how do i use avisynth and LSMASHSource and virtualdub2 then i just need a program that opens theses files and converts them to any video format
what i dont under stand is that my old tv which was a TOSHIBA 48U7653DB SMART TV that one recorded the programs with the bulit in freeview to usb stick and then when i plug the usb stick into the computer it had 1 video file and it was a mpeg 2 video file and i was able to convert it to any video file but my old tv stopped working a few months ago
my old tv i am not sure when that was made
so this is why i bought a new smart tv a LG 49UM7400PLB cos that was made 2019 also it has usb recording like my old tv but the thing i like the most about this tv lg tv is that it has freesat and freeview 2 tuners but when i record with this tv the files are all split up in different parts like in the image above in my last message
and the computer will not recognize any of theses files
so if i cant find a software that does this and if nobody knows of a way that will convert theses files to 1 video file then i will just take the tv back to the shop i bought it from then
and get a different make then i was thinking about buying a Samsung UE49RU8000UXXU Smart 4K HDR LED TV cos that tv also has freesat and freeview and it does have usb recording but i cant find anything on the internet what video file it saves as on a usb stick
my old tv a TOSHIBA 48U7653DB saved the video file as 1 mpeg 2 video file and i was able to convert it to another video file
but the lg tv my new one is quiet a messy one to deal with cos it spilts the files into a weird format that the computer does not recognize
so can anyone help me with this problem will i be able to convert theses video files to another format or should i take back the lg tv back to the shop i got it from
what i am after is a smart tv that has freesat and freeview 2 tuners and does usb recording and records as 1 video file to the usb stick and i am able to convert it with the computer
so does anyone know of any smart tvs where it records as 1 video file to usb stick and you are able to convert it through the computer -
I don't think anybody can help you. Although several years have passed since problems like yours were first reported, nobody has come forward to post about a decryption method for the recordings made by any TVs to make it possible for any other device, including a computer, to play them.
Based on what I have seen here at VideoHelp, all of the TVs that can record DTV broadcasts on USB drives appear to encrypt their recordings to prevent them from being played by any device other than the individual TV that made them. If one reads the manual for these TVs, this limitation is clearly stated.
[Edit] The e-Manual (ver 3.0.0) for the Samsung UE49RU8000UXXU says the following under "Recording Issues": "The recorded files on the TV can only be played back on the same TV. Those video files cannot be played back on a PC or other TV."Last edited by usually_quiet; 16th Feb 2020 at 10:42.

There was a lot of really usefull stuff and solutions for decrypting pvr files to use on every other device.
i.e. for the SAMSUNG TVs look at https://forum.samygo.tv/
Also the high-prized METZ TVs are able to record their pvrs without any encryption.
The manufactorers have to pay for additional license when they want to enable pvr without encryption.
Thats all ...
