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.
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! 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!
Thank you in advance. Please take note samsung new formate Sony Raw Format SRF. FILE.NOTE Even if you could copy the recordings to your PC they would still be unreadable as they are encrypted. Whilst decryption is theoretically possible, they are further protected for Digital Rights Management (DRM) purposes. Samsung isn’t alone in this though some smart TV and PVR manufacturers do allow recordings of some free-to-air (FTA) channels to be playable on a PC but they are in the minority.
I doubt that it’s done to make life difficult for users. You have to remember that products like these are made for world markets and sold in countries where there are large variations broadcaster’s licensing agreements, copyright restrictions and local censorship laws. It would be very difficult for manufacturers to accommodate every possible variation so they take the easy way out by only allowing recordings to be replayed on the device they were made on. Hi there IMO the best way of doing this stuff is to connect an HDMI SPLITTER to your TV - then feed 1 output into a decent CAPTURE device - I recommend the Star Tech (USB 3 newer one) as you don't need to connect this to a computer - it can capture direct to an SD card directly. It can of course capture to HDD on a computer if you prefer that. The file output is m2ts but any decent software can convert losslessly to mkv / mp4. I use this device to capture Video from a SKY Q minibox!!
The included thin, clear tubing helps create an almost invisible profile. And should you need more volume, thicker tubing is also included. Programmable hearing aids online. The PRO amplifies the critical frequencies of the human voice, without amplifying background sounds, so you can enjoy a crisp, clear conversations.
Note you need a cheaper HDMI splitter and DECENT HDMI cables - these strip off DRM too so your capture is fine. Max resolution though is full 1080p (1920 X 1280) - If you are trying to capture 4K UKD movies etc I think you'll have to wait until someone has cracked the DRM issues. Cheers jimbo.
README.md drmdecrypt Synopsis drmdecrypt is a tool to decrypt recorded files from Samsung TVs into standard transport stream format. There are multiple similar versions out there based on code from SamyGO and various people but they are all either slow, Windows specific, full of bugs or even all together. This version is fast, POSIX compliant (Linux, FreeBSD, Windows (MinGW)) and is focused on a small number of useful features. Features. Reading title and channel from.inf file. Bulk decoding multiple files. AES-NI support (5x faster) Usage Usage: drmdecrypt -dqvx-k keyfile-o outdir infile.srf.
Options: -d Show debugging output -k keyfile Use custom key file instead of mdb -o outdir Output directory -q Be quiet. Only error output.v Version information -x Disable AES-NI support Building / Installing make make install Support status Samsung has changed the encryption of the PVR recordings a few times so here is a small overview of what the situation is right now. Situation might change over time. Model year Status C (2010) supported D (2011) supported E (2012) key file required (needs root) see F (2013) key file required (needs root) see H (2014) key file required (needs root) see J (2015) unknown K (2016) unknown M (2017) unknown TODO.
default is BUFSIZ or better struct fstat blocksize. I/O write: write + ODIRECT + posixmemalign. I/O read: fread(188) + setvbuf(32k+8, IOFBF). OpenMP for multiprocessing: #pragma omp parallel for schedule(static).
I scrolled and partly read through several forum threads, opening new tabs on links, trying to figure out which version of which tool I should use to try to decrypt recordings copied from my LT27A750EX/EN with FW version 1006 (actual one from Samsung would be T-GASMDEUC-1009.0.exe). I tried using DeSTRoi 1.3.3 Binaries.zip, with and without AF flag, without success, resulting.ts does not play with Video app on Windows 8. (I used DiskInternals Linux Reader, it recognizes the Samsung VFAT formatted stick as XFS). I am so lost in this forum, that I don't even know from where I came to this thread. This forum thread is named '.Decrypting tool - final'.
Where is the beef? A valid link at the beginning or the end would be helpful, thanks. I love the SamyGO solution for the F-Series!

Is the latest version posted, have you tried it? Thanks for the link. I tried with destroy and drmdecrypt from drmdecrypt.zip and from F-series. Now tried but can't start drmdecryptwin32.exe nor drmdecryptx64.exe because of missing MSVCR120.dll.
Best of dave koz pdf printer. Unfortunately I haven't installed VS2013 anywhere, maybe I'll find it on VS2010 somewhere. I just recently terminated MSDN professional subscription. Btw: I have used Raise Data Recovery for XFS - Version 5.16 from SysDev Laboratories (needs license) to copy from stick. Diskinternals Linux Reader detects it as XFS but can't read from it (I tried different things, didn't note what worked yet).
Challenge You have recording(s) made with your Samsung LED TV on a harddisk and you want to keep them as Matroska (mkv) files. Prerequisites. Linux (I use ubuntu so you might have to do some substitutions). git ( apt-get install git). (lots of) space Solution We need to do:. Mount the Samsung LED TV formatted disk.
Sony Tv
Decrypt the needed file(s). Convert the needed file(s) Mount disk The Samsung LED TV formatted disks are formatted as a XFS filesystem and you have to be able to mount it. It can be done on a Mac (search for fuse-xfs) and on Linux.
I will explain the Linux version as I have not yet found a decryption tool for the mac. Put your USB harddisk with Samsung TV recordings in your linux machine. First you have to find which disk you have inserted.
Use sudo fdisk -l and find the disk you have inserted. The output should look something like below and you should be able to recognize your disk.

Make it executable chmod 755 samsungtv. Now you can convert files by just mounting the disk, go into the CONTENT folder and use a command like: samsungtv 1505.
It will take care of the decryption and conversion in 1 go. Discussion June 10, 2014 - Thanks to Nick You may also want to mention that on at least some Samsung TVs if not all recent ones? Ie the one that I own Model UEF5064000AK, the TV will quite happily record to a ext4 filesystem and not require the disk to be reformatted in XFS as would be the case if the filesystem was FAT32 or NTFS. December 25, 2014 - after a couple of mails It seems that the drmdecrypt does not work for all models or for newer model of Samsung. Please do not mail me with questions of how to fix them. Mails of that nature won’t be answered anymore.
You may of course mail me with a fix:-) or do a pull request on github. I will give credit where credit is due The current version works for me, so good luck in making it work for you hehe. Comments Please have your discussions but don’t ask me for help anymore.
