Hey guys, I record a lot of stuff on my Comcast DVR, and I was wondering if there was an app that could transfer movies in HD from there to an external HD connected to my MacBook. Any ideas?

If the Comcast DVR is like a TiVo, then the content is encrypted. You'd need something to unencrypt it. Toast can do that for TiVos. I don't know about Comcast.

There is always the old fashioned way...connect a coaxial cable from the DVR to an image capture device on the computer.

Not so easy. You could play to VCR from the TiVo and then go through something like this:
ADVC110
And ingest it to the Mac. You're going digital-analog-digital in that case though so there will be a fair bit of signal loss. The DirecTivo though is tough to get stuff out of... unlike the standalone TiVos (I think you can even burn to DVD with Toast with some of them?).
