Once I ran the TivoNet script from the CD, the daily call uses the internet instead of the phone. That's the first thing I test once I put in TivoNet.

Did you setup the default gateway correctly for the Tivo? Your Tivo has to have the capability to go out to the internet to get the guide data. IP: Logged |

DOH!!!!
the gateway was 192.168.1.1 I had 192.168.0.1 for my NC.
OK do you know of a program that would convert the .MPA audio file to WAV??
Over the next week I will be changing from XP to Win2000 but i would like to still do some converting. ------------------

It isnt that easy. The audio that DvdtoAvi makes is a MPA file. Which isnt a MP1,2 or 3. So i cant get any of the programs to open it.------------------

So I loaded Win2k and the audio did the same thing. I then unloaded my drivers for my Hercules XP sound card and away it went.Now I find out that the portable dvd player will do SVCD but the Harmon Karmon progressive dvd player will only do VCD's. On my HDTV they look like crap!!!! Isnt there a way to do small VOB's on regular CdR's? ------------------

No, VOB only works on DVDs.Go buy a Pioneer progressive scan. THe DV-444 is great. If you can get the older model DV-434, it's even cheaper. I got mine for $150 from buy.com. They both play VCD and SVCD in all kind of mediums such as CDR, CDRW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, etc.

But would Mpeg2 even give me the quality I'm looking for? I hate when a fight scene is pixelated.(i think that is the way to spell it)ohh well I didnt think it would be this hard to come up with TV quality.

The problem is the set-top box compatibility. You can keep the video in either Mpeg1 or Mpeg2 in higher bit rate and there won't be any blocking effects.The reason that the DVD looks so good is that the bit rate range from 3000k/sec to 6000k/sec just for the video part. The resolution is 720x480. SVCD (480x480) has a cap of 2500k/sec while the VCD (352x240) has a cap of 1152k/sec. That's why a good video source with a good method to recompile into SVCD could look almost as good as those in DVDs.

Sounds like you have the interlace line setup incorrectly. Did you tell TMPEGenc to process the top field first (in the field order)?

Nope still there. Any settings in DVDtoAvi? when i check out what i did with Tyconvert it looks real good. But use the slide on the bottom of DVDtoAvi and there's the lines.

I'm not sure what line you're talking about. Can you compile a short video clip to show me? Either FTP or email will do.

Your file looks perfect, but it's NOT in VCD or SVCD format. Set-top box won't play it correctly. Are the lines you mentioned the interlace lines for the TV?Your video is 480x480 but you set the bitrate to only 1150k/s. 480x480 is for SVCD and it's suppose to be in Mpeg2 and should have more than twice the bitrate (2520k/s). The VCD that with 1150k/s should only have 352x240. Otherwise, you'll lost of lot of detail.
BTW, just found the solution to the A/V sync problem:

TMPGE says the setting is 2520. ONe thing I hate about XP or WIn2k is they dont give info when you right click then properties. Now are you saying the mpg that i put up only is at 1150???------------------

Oops, nm. It was something else. Nero won't take it as SVCD though. I don't know what parameter you use but it's non-standard.Anyway, just noticed that your file is in progressive mode instead of interlace mode. All video files from Tivo are interlace. Try to keep them as interlace and see if it works better for you.

Nope, don't need to touch anything in DVD2AVI.Use my TMPEGenc setting files and see if that help.
