TivoApp Conversion Not Working

[Farnsworthr]

I have tried both Windows Media player 8 and ATI's bundled player 
that came with my Radeon card. I have also tried just putting the 
video on to a CD-RW and throwing it in to my dvd player, but that 
doesn't work either(my dvd player can handle plain mpeg files on 
cd). I'd really would like to get this working if possible.
