[ExtractStream] Anyone else working on this?

[Barcinski, Andy]

Why not just use TMPGEnc? It should do this just fine. Just download the
DivX ;-) codec and everything should work seamlessly.

Although, I wouldn't recommend using DivX ;-) I'd use MPEG 4 v2.

And just so everyone is aware, someone asking this question brings up the
whole piracy/TiVo Napster thing. If you're doing vidcaps to archive your
own stuff, fine. But please don't think about the other thing.

I've been wanting to pull streams off my TiVo for some time now.
The plan is, instead of grabbing shows with the TiVo, then to tape, 
extract the stream, Divx the show, then put it on CD. Better 
quality, much less space. (I have a cabinet of tapes right now, a 
couple of books would be much neater)

So, now I can get video from the TiVo (well, I will once I get back 
home and assemble my TiVoNet card :)
What's needed now is software to convert that data to DiVx and burn
the resulting mess to CD. I've got Linux servers that I can put a 
burner in and that would be the best solution, but if a windows only 
solution is around, I can live with that.

Has anyone tried this? How'd you do it? How well did it work?
(can one actually get a 2 hour show down to a CD and still have it 
watchable on a TV sized screen?) Does the Surround sound remain 
intact?

P.S. A great thanks to everyone who's gotten this project this far!
