Divx

[kill1967]

I found a link to this on google in the vidomi forum, which I clicked 
on. The guy was basically saying thanks for incorporating .ty 
decoding in the new version. 

I'll track down the link

Here it is.... (though of course this guy could be mistaken)

http://www.vidomi.com/viewtopic.php?topic=1981&forum=4

Copied from their forum...

First, let me say thanks for the .ty file support! One less step now 
trying to get stuff off my tivo into divx/xvid. My problem however is 
that when vidomi reads in the .ty lots, and I mean *lots* of 
artifacts are introduced. These artifacts do not appear if I use 
tyconvert to make the .ty's into mpeg2's and then use vidomi on the 
mpeg2's. 

Marty, if you want a .ty I can provide you with one, but it would 
need to be a minute or two to see what I'm talking about, and thus 
too big to email. If you want I can setup some other way for you to 
get it. 


Thanks again for vidomi!
