I was able to extract 1 show onto a DVD. I can get them into MPEG2 format which is what a DVD is made up of, but I am still having issues with the part where I actually get it onto a dvd that is viewable in my DVD player. I did this one, and it seems to work. Even better the video and audio at the end seems to be in sync. That is a problem with alot of these conversions. The down side is I left the burner on all night and I don’t know when it finished. it took a while. Also unless the numbers are wrong a 1 hour tv show took up 3 gig’s of space. The MPEG2 file on my hard drive only took up 1 gig, so I am not sure if that is correct. This whole thing is a work in progress.
I am going to show Gus my work today. I was on IM with him last night. he was excited about the possibilities for him. I think he is out of room on his Tivo but does not want to delete anything.
I have just found tystudio and found your blog trying to find more info on turning the mpeg2 from tyeditor into a dvd. I have tried Sizzle to make the DVD disk image, which others have had success with, but I must not have something set right because the resulting video freezes the DVDPlayer software immediately and compresses the video into the first half of the screen width. Can you expound on your progress? The video plays fine through VLC or MPlayer or other mpeg software on the mac, but not in DVD Player, so presumably also not on a stand-alone (I haven’t actually burned one yet DVD-R’s are expensive coasters).
