[QUOTE="icarusi, post: 571219, member: 308359"] I have a Fortecstar Passion Plus. The required disk format is FAT32. A partition of the disk can be formatted as FAT32 but any other partitions formatted as NTFS prevent reading of the FAT32 partition by the stb. After deleting any NTFS partitions the pre-existing FAT32 partition can be read. The video is written to one folder per recording containing a minimum of 3 files:- .ts, .idx and .nfo . The video .ts files are approx 1.5Gb max size. Subsequent video files are suffixed .001, .002 etc. The files appear to be H264, as identified on Media Player Classic (96.4.9.1r81) but play strangely. Luxe tv HD and ITV HD play jerkyly, BBC HD plays with no audio and high speeds with audio squelches. The files will not play on VLC 0.9.6 or KMPlayer 2.9.3.1428 I've been using a Samsung HD5021J 500Gb drive in a CNM docking station formatted to FAT32 on XP SP2 o/s with 'SwissKnife'. I also used an Emtec 8Gb USB stick but there was mild playback picture breakup at the transition between .ts files. I don't know if this was due to record or playback problems but the hardisk playback showed no similar problems.
