Re: retro month week 1

Hi Michael, based on last week: Tuesday night on ABC1 they aired selected video from the first 4 hours of the New Years special from Saturday night in a 1 hour and 45 minute block. On Wednesday night on ABC3 they played the 6:00am to 9:00am block in their entirety. This is you best chance at getting a rerun of Countdown.

So I recorded Countdown on the HDD last night and was wanting to break it up to burn them onto disc this morning. Not working and yes, it has worked many a times before.

Nathan, can you please tell me if rage on any ABC channels are likely to repeat any Countdowns during the week (I'm assuming Wednesday morning? yes?), so I can at least record another one straight onto disc.


Yes, normally Wednesday morning's ABC program is a repeat of part of Saturday night... except I'm pretty sure there is no Wednesday morning show this week.

What recording setting did you record the show in? On a single layer DVD, you can fit an hour of XP/FINE, and 2 hours of SP. Can't you break your recording into separate files?

That doesn't normally happen, though. ABC ME Tuesday night is usually a repeat of the 5-6 Sunday morning segment, and ABC ME Wednesday night is usually a repeat of the 6-7 Sunday morning segment. Neither of those segments this week were retro month material, though the 5-6 segment contained a repeat of Saturday morning's vault section (as is usually the case).

Re: retro month week 1

Michael, I'm in the process of editing my recording. I cut it down to individual episodes and save as MP4 files, which I'm happy to share if they're of any use to you (note that I use the H.265 codec format so your DVD software would need to support that)
Here's an example - the 24/02/1980 episode:

(I'd be happy to share my original recording too, but it's the raw .TS file and is 13GB in size so it'd take a while for me to upload)

Re: retro month week 1

As I can also no longer record any Countdowns since my relocation to the country (and I get stuck working in the city) anyone who can file share MP4's of the episodes would be get a very warm welcome from me as well!!

Regards

Brett

Hi Nathan, sorry for the late reply. I recorded it in XP. Then wanted to divide titles, but this time when i do it ie hit the pause button which divides it, it actually pauses and doesn't divide. I have a panasonic hdd recorder 2009. Maybe it's on the way out? Anyway, i'll just have to hook up my other dvd recorder to it and play the episodes and record as i go onto 5 discs. I only like one Countxown on each disc for better quality. Thanks Luuuc for offering your services, but sounds confusing. I'm old school.
