View Full Version : [ViX_Misc] Can't record - Doing my head in!
Hi,
So I've erased my Seagate 500GB External hard drive and I've formatted it to 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'.
Now I go to the Hard Disk section and try to initialize the disk so I can use it to record on and it's not on the list, only my USB stick which I use for EPG stuff etc.
Why is this happening?! Really frustrated. Am I meant to format it again before I connect to my Gigablue box?
I was expecting this process to be easier than this but I'm having trouble.
Thanks for reading
Format it to FAT32 1st :)
I'm on a Mac and that option doesn't come up in Disk Utility?
EDIT:
Formatted it as MS-DOS (Fat32) on my Mac, plugged it in and it's still not coming up?
Horray, got it!
Formatted it like above but I needed to change the locations of the drives in Mount manager, then it did a restart. Then I initialized it then and it's recording :)
However, the playback quality isn't very good at all, might that be with the HDD speed?
Also, I can't change the location of the recordings from /hdd/movie to another location at all, it won't let me..
Anyone?

No idea why you posted in the general section.
Please please please: provide all the info you have and now it turns out to be ViX this thread should have been in the ViX-section :rolleyes:
Maybe if the the forum was actually structured properly where I knew EXACTLY where to post (since there's many stupid sub forums which my post could have gone into), then I would have put it there.
And I wouldn't agree that it would go into the Vix section as it was a general recording question to start off. I wouldn't know if was specific to ViX at the time.
