Extracting recorded movies from DVR, transfer to PC?

Question

I have a Time Warner Cable Scientific Atlanta DVR, and was wondering how to extract the movies on the DVR and place them on my computer.

Legal answers are preferred, but if the answer is no (legally), Illegal will be accepted as well.

Thanks for your help and time

Hi russian446,

I move mine with a piece of hardware called DVD Xpress.

With DVD Xpress you can transfer your video to your hard drive and then edit it if you desire. DVD Xpress comes with basic video editing software. I got mine at Sam's for $59.95.

I saw a newer model at WalMart recently. It was the DVD Xpress2. I think it was $39.95 but I am not positive. You can check one out here http://www.usb-ware.com/ads-dvd-xpress-d...

You connect the composite output of your DVR into the DVD Xpress and connect the DVD Xpress to your computer via a USB cable.
