I've been experimenting with methods to move recorded television from my desktop to my laptop for travel.
Using the sync to handheld transfer I can move recordings that were made in ts format - no problem.
Recordings that were made in the jts format only transfer a very small file with the jtv extension - I can't see that these *.jtv files do anything. No content is transferred.
I can transfer files recorded with jts selected so long as I use the convert function. I don't convert I just get the small jtv file.
I understand that I can copy the jts files/file folder over and the recording will run on the laptop but I'm curious - is the transfer of files recorded in jts format just not a current feature (or have I missed something).
-
That is not the correct behavior, likely a bug. When transfer to a "device", we should convert, instead of just copying the jtv file alone.
-
Not sure what you mean "When transfer to a "device" we should convert" ?
Since I'm running JRiver on the laptop I don't understand the need to convert to another format. I thought it would just transfer the entire folder containing all the jts files. Unless I wanted to convert.
Could you please explain?
Thanks.

I am not sure. If we transfer to a device, like a hand-held device, there would be issues of the format not being supported by the device. So I thought maybe we always transcode in that case.
-
Right - then you would need to tell JRiver what file types the handheld supports - at least I think it works that way for audio.
Guess it just hadn't occurred to the development team that someone might use that function to go to a "handheld" laptop running JRiver.
I can see that it wouldn't be a priority since you can just copy the folder over.
Thanks anyway - just trying to "grok" the program.
