MAC AVI files enabled for use on PVR

JIMMY RECARD · Feb 5, 2013, 04:47 AM

HI All.

Probably been asked before but could find nothing..

I have a MAC Formatted External HDD with Avi Files + others..

How can I enable these files for use on a PVR. via USB Stick...

Is there software available to convert or is there a simple setting to do this..
Cheers

Figured it out...

The file needs no conversion... As the HDD is formatted for MAC It isn't recognised on the PVR.. I dragged an AVI file to a thumb drive Formatted for MS-DOS..

Works Well on my Samsung BluRay.. PVR

Yet I also have another PVR HUMAX FOXSAT. USB input... Doesnt show up at all in there...

All good at least it's working.

Cheers
