    AV2HDR-T2 only works on standard definition programmes. Copying a programme to USB should copy over all four files: if there has not been a reboot since a recording was made and it has not been played there will be no thm file. The thm is not really important because it will be recreated when you play the file on the HDR-2000T. Can you see the hmt files if you connect to the box with ftp? There should be a hmt file for each programme, both standard and high def.

    I have used AV2HDR-T2 with 1080i content from my camcorder. I have also just tested it with a 1080p50 file, it worked absolutely fine.

    I have just created 6 additional recordings (2 HD, 2 SD and 2 Audio)on the HDR-2000T and played a few seconds of each so that the thumbnail was created for the HD and SD recordings.

    In all cases exporting the recordings via USB produced a ts, an hmt, an nts, and for the TV recordings a thm file on the USB memory device.

    I thought that it could not recreate the sidecar files for HD content (TS files) recorded on the HDR-FOX? Can anyone confirm?

    Edit. I think if you use the programme with an (unencrypted) HD TS file from a HDR-FOX (so probably also a HDR-2000T) it can’t cope with the AAC audio so you end up with no sound.

    Not sure why you would want to use AV2HDR-T2 on a native file as you already have sidecar files unless of course you want to edit the content. It's easy to sort out the aac audio, create a ac3 copy of the audio (I use FLV MP3 Converter) and remux the file with TS Muxer GUI.

    I have uploaded a short clip .ts .htm and .nts to here

    https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=1698F958AF9ACDA4&id=1698F958AF9ACDA4%21105

    Can someone with A hdr2000t stick all 3 on a usb stick and see if it plays back. Note the clip was recoded from 1080p25 to 1080p50 as I didn’t have any native 1080p50 content handy, so as a result it has some motion artefacts.

    If the hdr 200OT doesn’t recognise it then deleting (or renaming) the .hmt and .nts) should make the .ts playable.

    Hi Graham.

    Just downloaded the three files, and can confirm that the clip plays back fine on my HDR-2000T.

    Cheers,

    James.

    Thanks – the HDR2000T must have identical file formats to the HDR-FOX T2.

    In message #14 you mentioned this program to Victor Delta when he was having problems locating the hmt files for HD programmes on his HDR-2000T. I presumed that you were suggesting he could use this to recreate the sidecars? AFAIK the file format for the HDR-2000T and the HDR-FOX is the same so I am not sure why he had problems locating the hmt files.

    Before the availability of 1.03.12 firmware for the HDR-FOX it would have been very useful to be able to recreate the sidecar files: recordings of BBC Three HD and BBC Four HD, for example, often were unplayable due to a fault causing corruption of the nts file (zero length nts fault).

    Many thanks for all the helpful comments. I’ve now managed to access the hmt files using ftp and use the amazing Foxy to do its stuff. Then copied previously encrypted HD file to a USB dongle (together with 3 other files – don’t know what happened to the hmt file yesterday). :D

    If I copy files from the 2000T I just select the .TS file and discard the others. I then convert the file to another format – usually MP4 as I find these will play on most equipment if done like this, plus the file size is smaller and is a fair compromise between size and quality.
