Many people have a favorite or important show, a film that they would like to save and have access to watch at any time. For this case, there is such a function as recording TV shows on a USB drive. In this article we will tell you how to do this, answer questions that will help you understand the principle of action, try to describe the process in detail to fully satisfy your request.
How to record a program from a TV to a USB flash drive
NOTE. Recording can only be done with cable and digital programs! With analog, copying will not be made.
You can record at the present time, or postpone it for some time. This is a very convenient feature for programs that start later, and you will not have the opportunity to attend at this time. You can delay it in the menu. It is enough to simply indicate in a certain column the hour and minutes of the recording start. Your TV will remember, and then complete the task you set.
It is important to know that a recorded TV show can only be viewed on the device that was being recorded.
You can play the program at any time. The principle of operation is very simple:
- Press the Home / Source button.
- Select "sources".
- Select USB drive.
- Include the desired video.
Which USB drive to choose
An important part is the device on which the transmission will be recorded. If you don’t approach the choice of a flash card correctly, the TV may simply not see it or there will be problems with playing the file. So how do you choose a USB drive?The first is the amount of memory. The most optimal is 4 gigabytes. Each TV has its own limit on the amount of memory inserted flash drives. A larger number is not recommended, as there may later be problems with video / audio playback and with the recording as a whole.Before using, the USB flash drive must be formatted. Most often, the new flash drive has the NTFS format. On a PC using a specialized program, you can change it to FAT32. Most SMART TVs support it. On individual TVs, such as Samsung, there is the possibility of formatting. If there is something important on the flash drive, you need to think about moving it from it in advance, since all files will be deleted after formatting.
Do all devices support video capture?
First you need to make sure whether it is possible to record the transfer on your TV. The device should have such a feature as Smart TV. Make sure your TV meets this requirement and see its specifications. In the instructions you can surely find out if this is possible.
Video copying process
We have sorted the whole process of preparation and now let's move on to the main thing: recording the transfer to a flash card. Each TV has its own procedure. But basically they are similar. The only difference is the different name of the menu items. Therefore, we will not give step-by-step instructions, so as not to mislead you. On one device, you will need to call the "schedule manager", select the desired channel, date, time and duration (start and end of recording), and the schedule (whether there will be a repeat of the action and the frequency of the replay, or without replay).
In other devices, video capture occurs through "Multimedia" or "Photos, visible music." It has the Recorded TV-pr app. After choosing it, we agree to format the flash drive and fill in the recording parameters.
Copying, as you can see, is a simple process. We hope that after reading this article, you will no longer have any questions that directly or indirectly relate to this topic.
