Firewire recording from the Cable Box to the Mini Pt 2

Ok so a few more bits of info here...I got a response from Cyberlink and none of their apps will open a .m2t file. So scratch that idea.

I also put a post on the xbmc.org forum about .mt2 files playing in XBMC and found out some good info. If you create a file called Advancedsettings.xml and save it to the /user/library/Application Support/XMBC/UserData directory you can get XBMC to include .m2t into its accepted file formats. Here is what you put in Advancedsettings.xml:

    
    .m2t|.msts
    

Enter XBMC and play your hi def recorded content! Now if I can only find a way to contact someone from Verizon to ask why CBS and ABC are flagged Copy Once!

Have you been able to convert it from here to other formats/dvd etc or just playback only on XMBC?
