I have many recorded films/programs on the hard disk of the DM8000. Some were recorded from non English channels.Going through the list I get a little description of the film in a foreign language.
I want to edit/ replace the text with English text.

I checked the files on the drive and found out that the file which contains the text has an extension .EIT
I can open the file in DCC or notepad to see the text.Tried to edit it but always failed, the edited file once saved, will have no text!

Anyone can help please?
 
The file is stored with permissions of 644. Change it to 666 (chmod 666 <filename>) and you will be able to edit and save the file,
HOWEVER
I think the file will be corrupt after editing as it looks like it contains control bytes; at least language.
 
The file is chmod 755. The edited file can be saved, no problem. open again and all the text disappears. I think I need a special editor for this type.
You are right that it has some "control bytes".
here is what it looks like:

It will need a special editor. I have had a quick look but cannot find the layout in the source repository and also I cannot find a program to do this. I will have a look when I have time to see if I can dig up the required documentation and produce an editor. It should not be a big job.
 
I found two programs to do this. :)
EITitor and Edit. both can be found on IHAD board.
Thanks Shumifan50 for all your help.
