Moving Samsung TV recorded files from USB drive to computer

Liqourice · Dec 2, 2010, 09:24 PM

I gather that the TV formats the drive in some own format since I can't read it when I connect it to my computer.

Anyone know how to be able to read and copy the files?

TV is Samsung UE40C8705

are u plugging it into a windows PC? maybe it is a sort of EXT file format, though i wouldn't know off hand how to check. Was tryn to look up your TV but info on it seems scarce.

Yes, I've already looked around there and there is nothing to find. Tried a quick google as well and found nothing. Don't really know how to word the search though.

Perhaps I should try through linux and see if I can make it work there.
