Excuse me if this is not the right place to ask, but I bet on your experience, and have nothing to lose. So here it goes: I have a Samsung LED 50' Smart TV model UE50H6200 (the full P/N printed on the sticker is UE50H6200AWXXH) which is very nice, but also very nasty when it comes to be used as PVR.

As you may know it will perfectly read any FAT32 or NTFS formatted USB Flash drive or USB hard disk to play media from, but will refuse to record on these formats! To record you must format the USB Flash drive with it's own format (variant of Linux EXT4). The files produced are in SRF format and encrypted (even if the source is a Free to Air channel). The key is stored in an MDB file with the same name. I tried the that supposedly connects to the TV via FTP and downloads the recording. Access was denied when tried to connect to the TV's IP address. It also claims to read the files from a local source, so I installed a utility, to read the Linux EXT1/2/3/4 file systems in Windows.

Apple deluged by police demands to decrypt iPhones.

I managed to open the USB Flash drive and see the contents, but deSTRoi could not open the SRF files claiming they are corrupt. They play perfectly when I connect the USB Flash drive on the TV, so they are OK. I then tried (is normally a Linux utility) to try and decrypt the SRF file into a TS file. When attempting to do that directly on the USB Flash drive, I got an error message that the TS file could not be opened for writing. I then tried to copy all the files from the USB Flash drive to my hard disk. I wasn't allowed to copy the MDB files containing the key, so I had to modify the syntax of the DRMDecrypt utility (it is command-line based) to read the MDB file from the USB Flash drive.

It seemed to work! It read the SRF file, supposedly decrypted it and produced a TS file. Only that the file produced was not a valid TS file and no application could open it! Tarzan xxx movie. Pretty useless! Other applications tried: AVS Video Converter 9.1, NeroVideo 2016, TMPGEnc 5, Media Player Classic.

None could open either the original SRF file or the 'decrypted' TS file. So now I have nothing else to try. Does anyone of you have any experience with Samsung Smart TV recordings? Is there any way to convert them to some other format (eg MTS or MP4) and edit them or convert to DVD?

It would be nice to keep the episodes of my favorite series or even keep a good movie to watch again some time later. I don't think it's illegal as long as I keep it from my personal use. Luckily I have a DVB-T set-top box which allows recording to a regular FAT32 or NTFS USB Flash drive and in the common MTS format, but it's a shame I can't use my Samsung Smart TV directly. If you have any useful information, please share!
