Is there anyway of doing this?. The image would be on the disk.

Why ? ...To be able to stick the disk in a pc and transfer the video.

Is there firewire HD support ?

Thats a new approach I have not heard of anyone trying that. That would be cool.

I doubt it would work, but even if it did, what would it get you? Something that looks like a 5GB TiVo disk?

Thats true. but maybe in the future there will be a larger capacity device with similar features. that would be pretty sad, only a 30 min sitcom

Um, when you pull out a TiVo disk, you're left with a doorstop. You can't pull a disk and simply "remove" one recording, multiple recordings are scattered across the disk, and if you have two disks, a recording may, I think, be split across two disks.

If you're thinking you'll have a self-contained MPG file you're mistaken.

Now I can certainly understand the desire to be able to save a recorded show onto DVD. But simply replacing a hard disk with a DVD-RAM ain't gonna do that.

People have setup their tivo with a removable IDE setup. I've seen those at CompUSA and such.

Also remember you can't just pull the recordings off a DTiVo. You modify the software the HDVR2 runs.

Video extraction talk is not allowed around here, so I will not go any further. There are other forums where this talk in allowed.
