The problem for me in using a USB is that the HDD has to be formatted in a way that Macs can't write to (some of the methods can be read)
Interesting that you say this because I have tried to copy to a USB stick (Thumb drive) 16GB following the FAQ post from Barry. I can't get it to work. The copy operation appears to be working (takes about 15 minutes for a 1/2 hour SD programme) but at the end there is nothing on the USB drive. All that happens is that a duplicate copy is created on the FVP internal drive. The USB stick is formatted as FAT (MBR) using disk utility on Mac. Moving the new copy to USB doesn't work either (the copy just disappears). The FVP can see the USB drive and a different USB stick formatted the same way with Music files on it can be seen and the music files play. Has anyone successfully copied recordings from FVP to USB stick? I thought I would ask before contacting HUMAX.
