Hello,

I recorded a TV show on a USB flash drive.

I obtained the following files:

- 1114_185351.pvr
- 1114_185351.rfi
- CH394_20211114_185351_0000.bin

Is it possible to convert these files into a video that I can watch on my PC?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Hello,

As far as I know, no, the bin format is encrypted specifically to prevent reading on another device; there probably isn't a solution unless the TV allows recording in another format like TS or MPEG.

No, my TV doesn't record in another format.

The alternative plan, assuming that the TV is connected to a box or that we have two antenna outlets, otherwise we won't be able to watch anything else while recording, is a TNT recorder decoder, provided that you already have an external hard drive or a USB stick with sufficient capacity, generally formatted in FAT32. It costs around €30 in all the stores like Boulanger and similar.

As its name indicates, it only records TNT, but regarding mine in TS format, it does not allow playback on the TV unless I convert it to MKV using Avidemux; this is simple and fairly quick. PCs are much more tolerant regarding codecs in this regard, I can't remember if TS files work directly without conversion.
