EDIT: Just remember something. When you unzip the package, you have to uncheck the "TAR file smart CR/LF conversion" under winzip's config, Misc.

Try remove all of those related files and upload the newly unzipped one again.

I haven't used ed for over 10 years. Can't remember the commands now. I hope you've copied the "joe" into your Tivo.

1) In bash prompt, type "joe /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit"
2) Go to the end of the file, Ctrl-K V
3) add this line: "httpd.tcl > /dev/null 2> /dev/null &"
4) Save the file, Ctrl-K X

Method I. Use TyConvert V0.32 to convert Tivo file as ONE MPEG file.

You can use PowerDVD or any video players that can play Mpeg2 files to play the resulting file.

If you want to convert it to VCD or SVCD, you have to:
1) Use DVD2AVI and "Save Project" with or without the audio. The result is a small .d2v project file.
2) Use TMPEGenc to compile VCD or SVCD using the d2v file as the video and the Tivo MPEG2 file (not the Tivo file) or the Audio Mpeg file extracted by DVD2AVI.

Method II.
Use TyConvert to convert the Tivo file as Video Mpeg and Audio Mpeg file seperately using the "Separate A/V files" function. The problem of this method is that sometimes the A and V goes out of sync. You can try to use the "Auto-sync audio" or use the Manual audio offset (each unit is 36ms) to sync the AV up.

Also when I do DVDtoAVI, it gives me the small project file but nothing else. No video or audiofiles ?????

Correct, the project file IS the video file from TMPEGenc's point of view. You can just use the "TyConvert"ed Mpeg file as the audio file for TMPEGenc.

TyConvert: http://www.armory.com/~charlie/TyConvert/TyConvert.html

BTW, sooner or later you'll get a video that generate HUGE .mpa file from the dvd2avi. And the dvd2avi problem doesn't seem to stop. In that case, you'll have to use method II. Before you use method II, take a note on the file name that dvd2avi generates for the .mpa file. It should be something like MoviesMPA T01 DELAY 240ms.mpa. That's mean the audio needs to be offset by 240ms.

Method II:
1) Run tyconvert and use "Seperate A/V" files.
2) put a number in Manual Audio offset. If the mpa file name that dvd2avi generate says 240ms, put round(240/36,0)= 7 in there.
3) Use the resulting AV files for TMPEGenc.

Method III:
If you find the audio is faster than the video, tyconvert won't let you do negative offset.
1) Use tyconvert to generate a single mpeg file.
2) Use dvd2avi to generate just the project file. Disregard the audio file.
3) Use TMPEGenc's MPEGTools to demux the single mpeg file and just need the audio extract from it. (Double click on the audio checkbox).
4) Use (2) & (3) for TMPEGenc.

Not only just basic quality. It happens at random. You have to use method II for that case. Before you use method II, take a note on the file name that dvd2avi generates for the .mpa file. It should be something like MoviesMPA T01 DELAY 240ms.mpa. That's mean the audio needs to be offset by 240ms.

That's SVCD. Records shows in High Quality mode and encode it to SVCD using TMPEGenc.

Just tested extract as Tivo raw format. It seems have better A/V sync compare to the direct webpage extract. However, he did mentioned that he fixed a bug in ExtractStream. So, it could be just the fix from ExtractStream instead of his software was doing magic.
