Can't Use Tivoapp or Extractstream

[sjjenkins]

Gary:

I was able to play it with the Elecard MPEG player (which doesn't 
play sound, so maybe I'll try PowerDVD - unless you can suggest a 
good DVD codec for Media Player?).

I don't have DVD burner - just a CD-R burner, so I was going to 
create a VCD (I've played them on my Marantz DVD player before).

Is the sound in the MPEG generated by your proggie good enough to 
just fire up Nero and go directly to SVCD?

I've played with some other programs (TyTool, etc.) and have been 
able to extract the separate video and audio streams, but joining 
them then converting to MPEG and tweaking... and... and.... it's 
almost too much bother for the time being. I like apps like yours 
that simply things. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before 
someone writes something that allows me to go straight from the app 
to a format that's ready for VCD :)

Thanks,

Steve
