I have a bunch of SageTV and BeyondTV shows going back to the early 2000's (almost 2gb worth compressed as divx, etc). I need to figure a way for the wife to watch them if she desires from her laptop. It may be possible to convert them to a native NPVR format so they will all appear together (that may blow up their size though).
Native format is mpeg.ts but from the Video Library you can pretty much play any format that Windows can play with the appropiate codecs Using the Import utiity into the Recordings database there is a limit on clients to only use .ts. I am not sure why sub block others formats from the client it would likely be able to configure the client to play everything but C:\ files.
You must mean 2TB, 2GB isn't even an half an hour these days.
