Download recorded movies from Time Warner cable Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300 HDC dvr to my computer, which is connected w/usb cable from dvr to computer, to eventually burn a dvd...HELP
Not gonna happen. SA uses a proprietary file system. The USB is only designed for a keyboard or mouse when in a special diagnostics mode. The best you can do is use an eSata drive to the port on the back. IF you have the Mystro software on the box (most do) it won't even allow you to move programs to the storage drive until the box's drive is mostly full. Even then, I'm not sure that it gives you the option to choose what you want to offload.
You are best off buying a DVD burner (stand alone unit) or output the video to your PC. and re-encoding it to the file you want. Alternately, wait for the Series 4 TiVo with tru2way.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Try to use Nero for you to burn it to your DVD.
