I just want to post that I borrowed a Vista laptop and was able to run a couple of experiments. I was able to get the current release of extract_rtv5 to run just fine on Vista if I opened a command prompt run as administrator. This was quite simply accomplished by going into the programs, accessories, right clicking on Command Prompt and choosing Run as administrator. You may have to give permission to run the command prompt as administrator, but when I ran extract_rtv5 in this command prompt, it found the RTV hard drive just fine and it ran on it just fine...

Version 79 of extract_rtv5 is posted at SourceForge.net! This version adds extracting files larger than 4GB on Windows with an NTFS file system. Running on a FAT32 file system will still extract files larger than 4GB in 4GB file chunks.

Version 78 of extract_rtv5 is posted at SourceForge.net! The change for Windows in the previous version, 77, resulted in much better error reporting when scanning the Replay hard drive. This version adds to skip clusters that can't be read instead of aborting extract_rtv5. In addition, this version adds to display the cluster number while scanning for unlinked (deleted) files so as to not appear as if the application is hung.

Version 77 of extract_rtv5 has been posted at SourceForge.net. This version changes the method of accessing the ReplayTV hard drive on the Windows operating systems in the hopes that it will avoid the errors reported by Windows when accessing the hard drive...

In addition, it adds for the -df options to output if the show recordings are guaranteed or not...

Version 76 Poasted

Version 76 is posted at SourceForge.net. This version combines features from Guide2XML and GuideParser5 where when using the -ds options it now takes advantage of having access to the show's channel information. That is, for example, when using the -dsx option, the generated XML files will now containe the show's category, channel ID, and channel name. I also added for the -ds option to output the number of categories, channels, and shows contained in the snapshot.

I also added for extracting using the -dx option to fill in the XML file's channel ID with the current time so that all of the shows extracted will be grouped together. I had also noticed that using a channel ID of zero would sometimes cause problems, so using the current time works more like DVArchive downloading.

Version 75 is posted at SourceForge.net. This version displays the file date format when using -d and -x year/month/day in the hopes that it would cause RTVExplorer to generate it correctly in the XML file. And, while it did NOT change how RTVExplorer generates the XML file, it does cause the date column to sort much better.

However, I also added for the -dx and -udx options to allow a DVArchive XML version number, like 43, 45, or 50, to set the Replay show type (i.e. -dx50). This allows creating DVArchive XML files even from ShowStopper hard drives.

Finally, I added some changes to allow compiling on 64-bit Linux variants.

You sure can! Either you can simply install DVArchive on the PC that you are extracting the files, or you can copy all the files to the computer that has DVArchive installed, or you can share the folder with the files and access it from the computer that has DVArchive installed. If you share the folder with read/write permissions and map it on your computer that has DVArchive, then add the path to the files in DVArchive and the shows will show up in the local DVArchive (with all the other shows that you already have). You can then chose to rename the files and they will change on the source computer. But, all the files that you have extracted will be mixed in with all the files that you already have on your PC, so it will be harder to find the files that you extracted. That is why it would probably be easiest over all to simply install DVArchive on the PC that you are extracting the files just to go through and rename them all and be done...

You may want to run DVArchive just to rename the files for you. You don't have to do anything else with it, it is quite easy to run on any PC. But, it will allow you to see all the shows with the show information and will rename the file names to something that is the show name...
