[ExtractStream] Newfangled TiVo's (Time to start over)?

[Edmond E. Shwayri]

The encryption makes no sense at all. Why bother. If people want to 
record video to distribute on the Net there are many far easier 
solutions. Matrox and ATI products come to mind. I have archived the 
current season of Lexx using an old Matrox Marvel G200. It looks excellent 
and is considerably easier than the 
ExtractStream->FrameServe->VirtualDub->Re-Encoding. And lets face it mom 
and pop are just not going to be doing stuff like that. It would be a 
gross waste of money for them.
