![]() I imagine whatever decrypts one file on one hard drive will decrypt every file on that hard drive, but each hard drive will have to be brute-forced separately. ts files would be the most efficient thing to do. ts files (MPEG-2 transport streams) similar to HTTP Live Streaming where a video of arbitrary length is split into 10-second segments maybe brute-forcing one of these smaller. There is a way to save the files as many small. Short of someone knowing how the encryption worked on those models, that makes me think the only remaining option is to take a short video file and brute-force it, passing the result through ffmpeg every time and checking the exit code to see if it recognizes it as containing legitimate media streams. In my case they are not, and apps like Invisor Lite which are supposed to show details of media files such as bitrates, codecs, and streams, do not recognize any such information in the files. Chapman seems to think these files should be recognizable by VLC and ffmpeg at the very least. Chapman's techniques work for identifying the shows on that disk and the utility used to save those shows into files works as far as creating "files" that represent the shows. As far as I can tell all the disks I have are Series 2 and 3, and use a combination of factors including an IC on the TiVo motherboard to encrypt the video as it's being written to disk during recording. Once people figured this out back in the day and began hacking into their TiVos, TiVo began baking in encryption into later models. What I (and, presumably, he) didn't know at the time was that Series 1 TiVos did not encrypt recordings as they were being written to disk. To start with, I followed Ben Chapman's excellent article detailing how he was able to extract recordings from his Series 1 TiVo. Long story short, there is very little information about this topic anymore due to the age of the technology. I understand TiVo was concerned about enabling piracy, but the irony of the whole thing is, probably everything but what I'm after on these hard drives is easily available on private BitTorrent trackers, YouTube, or even on DVD and Blu-Ray in much better quality than what these TiVos recorded. I am a media preservationist whose focus is on obscure and at-risk media, in this case local television commercials and station IDs trapped on TiVo hard drives that have been separated from their TiVos (and therefore any normal way to share them, nor any way to retrieve the "media access key" required to do so). I wanted to check with you before I get rid of some disk images I've had no luck with. ![]() Play nice, support each other and encourage learning.
