With my 2000T once the thumb drive is in and has been recognised I simply access media as usual then the programme I want to copy. Once I have highlighted prog to copy I select the opt button then follow the copy option. Once that is pressed I am shown two icons, one being the HDD the other USB. Once you see that select USB, you thumb drive will be highlighted and with mine there is a red icon in the corner marked copy – select that and then go and make a brew, do your shopping, whatever. That’s it, when it’s finished remove drive and use where you want to use it.
Yes it used to be like that on my HDR-T2 too, but doesn’t seem to work as well on the FVP-4000T
