[ExtractStream] TivoApp/Extractstream issues?

You have an older SVR-2000. Lucky you, sigh.....

You need a proper CODEC to be able to play the stream. I found that the 
Elecard codec (http://pvrhack.sonnik.com/tivo/downloads/m2v_codec.exe) 
would work with MediaPlayer 6 in Windows NT, but not Windows 2000/Media 
Player 7. Looks like there might be a newer version and a player at 
http://www.elecard.com. Might want to check it out.

As for VirtualDub, you will need to convert the MPEG2 stream into an AVI 
before you can edit it (Oh joy....). This page looks interesting :

Haven't tried it and I probably would want to end up with DivX instead of 
SVCD, but the theory looks sound.
