It can upload either as a .tvwiz folder, or as a single .ts file.

NAME
getWizPnP - list and fetch recordings from a Beyonwiz DP series over the
network using the WizPnP interface
SYNOPSIS
getWizPnP [-h host|--host=host] [-p port|--port=port]
[-l|--list] [-|--date] [-t|--ts] [-v|--verbose]
[-r|--regexp] [-e|--expression]
[ patterns... ]
DESCRIPTION
List or fetch the recordings on a Beyonwiz DP series PVR over the
network using the WizPnP interface.
If no pattern arguments are given, then all recordings are listed.
Otherwise recordings matching any of the patterns are fetched (or
listed, with --list).
In the absence of --regexp or --expression a pattern matches if it is a
substring of the string *servicename*#*title*#*date*, case sensitive.
For example:
SC10 Canberra#MOVIE: Pride & Prejudice#Fri Feb 15 20:28:00 2008
To upload all recordings, an empty string will match everything:
wizGetPnP ''
Recordings are uploaded to a name corresponding to their event name
(title) with any characters that are illegal in the file system changed
to '_'. The --date option adds the day and date of the recording to the
name, helpful for series recordings. Uploaded recordings are placed in
the current directory.
ARGUMENTS
GetWizPnP takes the following arguments:
host
--host=host
-h host
Connect to the *host* (DNS name or dotted-quad IP address) instead
of the file default ("beyonwiz"), or the default set in the
configuration file (see FILES below).
host
--port=port
-p port
Connect to the *port* instead of the file default (49152), or the
default set in the configuration file (see FILES below).
list
--list
-l
List the matching recordings, rather than uploading them.
date
--date
-d
Add the recording day and date to the name of the recording when
it's uploaded. Useful for uploading series.
ts
--ts
-t
Upload the recordings as single ".ts" (MPEG Transport Stream) files,
rather than copying in the Beyonwiz internal recording format.
verbose
--verbose
-v
Provide more information. A single -v lists some more details about
the recordings, and shows a progress indicator when copying. Two -v
options list the sizes of the recording file chunks on the Beyonwiz.
regexp
--regexp
-r
Carry out the matches using the argument as a Perl regular
expression. For example:
getWizPnP --regexp 'ABC|SBS'
will copy all recordings made from either the ABC or SBS.
expression
--expression
-e
Evaluates the match arguments as Perl expressions with $_ set to the
*servicename*#*title*#*date* string. If any expression evaluates to
true (in Perl terms), the recording is matched.
getWizPnp --expression '/ABC|SBS/'
is equivalent to the --regexp example above. Quite powerful; the
Swiss Army knife approach.
PREREQUSITES
Uses packages "Beyonwiz::Recording::Header",
"Beyonwiz::Recording::Index", "Beyonwiz::Recording::IndexEntry",
"Beyonwiz::Recording::Trunc", "Beyonwiz::Recording::TruncEntry",
"File::Basename", "Getopt::Long", "HTTP::Status", "LWP::Simple", "URI",
"URI::Escape"
BUGS
File copy progress bar only updates after each (up to) 32MB chunk file
is copied.
It's not possible to restart interrupted transfers.
If the *--ts* flag is given, uploading a recording to the same name will
overwrite the original; if it's not given an error results. It's not
completely clear what the correct behaviour should be.
Can only upload to the current directory.
Doesn't use the WizPnP protocol to find WixPnP servers.
I think I'll stick by upload. I could see PC owners viewing the PC as the subordinate system to the BW, though.
