This is bothered me for ages, and I've never asked this group. I don't know if it's a HR10-250 'thing', or a TiVo thing, or DirecTV. But frequently, my...
Is there any service out there that will modify our HR10-250, so that we can extract mpeg-2 files? I am dying to move non-OTA (over the air) content over to my...
I don't know about a service but you can certainly hack the HDTivo yourself to do what you want. This entire forum was built around a guide that instructs you...
"The Zipper" script makes it pretty easy - http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=265929 But I would advise to learn exactly what it does, in...
Probably the easiest path to a fully hacked system is to buy "Instant Cake" and "PTVnet Utils" disks. I think they are both $20 to download the images, and...
Once your Tivo is hacked. I highly recommend using TySuiteJ http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53760 to extract and convert to mpeg. The user...
I second that suggestion. I see to many people using the Zipper without knowing what it does. The end result is usually a Tivo that gets stuck in a reboot...
Instantcake is a good source for a backup image if you don't have one handy. OTOH, the PTVnet utilities disk is a complete waste of money, IMHO. The files...
Other than automating the tytompeg utility after a download, I see no advantage in using the TySuiteJ utility over plain ole' TyTools. I tried it and didn't...
The last I heard (and tried), you couldn't get HD material to download using tytools after a certain (Tivo) software version. Has this changed? Did the...
TyTools works fine for downloading except where the size of the program gets excessively large. I think there's a limit on the number of FSIDs TyTools can...
It is extremely simple to configure TySuiteJ to extract and convert using tytompg. If I remember correctly all you need to do is set the path to tytompg.exe in...
I bought VideoRedo a couple years ago too. It's the best app I've found for editing out commercials and such. Re DVDStyler, how has it done for you in...
DVDStyler will not work directly with HD content. For making DVD from HD content I've found 2 choices from the same company. The resulting quality is ...
There's a method for authoring HD content to HD-DVD using your existing DVD burner and standard recordable DVDs. You need a copy of Ulead DVD Movie Factory 5...
Hmmm. We're getting there. But for the last year or two, I've been trying to find an app that will transcode HD mpeg2 files into the latest and greatest mp4...
Mike - Here's a link to an mpeg2 compression app that's supposed to work with HD streams: http://www.intercom.co.jp/english/transcoder/purchase.html It should...
While you will be able to burn H.264 to a conventional DVD authored for either HD-DVD or Blu-Ray, the patent holders will never license their patents to...
I'm not talkng about burning to HD-DVD or Blu-ray discs. I'm talking about making an H.264 file (mpeg4), that can be played on a media player. H.264 and VS-1...
I'm trying to do the same thing: convert the extracted & edited MPEG2 to H.264 MPEG-4 in a *.MKV container for playback on a PC. So far, I've had no success,...
Since I have not hacked my DirecTiVo, is there somewhere that I can download a sample HD MPEG-2 file to experiment on transcoding it H.264 and then seeing if...
Hello: Regarding h.264 being an "open standard", here's what it says on wikipedia: *Patents and GNU open-source licenses Discussions are often held regarding...
Hey: I haven't made many changes to the "channels I receive" so I haven't noticed any problems with forgetting. I do get wishlist recordings once in a while...
Ok cool Bruce. Thanks for the clarification. I also personally believe that those who invest in creating a software product, deserve to be recompensed as...
Sure. I put about 80 seconds of HD sample material at: www.fuel-saver.org/img/sample.mpg The files come off the HD Tivo in a *.ty file format. This file has ...
One time, in the last 1-1/2 years, I had a few of my favorites show up missing, and I had to re-load them from backup (tivo web plus). I never chased up on...
I've done pretty well with ffmpeg. The problem I have is that the only place I can play the files is on my pc, which has the horsepower to decode H.264 on the...
