Well, I just got TivoApp to work. I've got a .mpeg file (I assume this is an MPEG2 movie file). I found and installed an MPEG2 codec and when i played the movie, it had the same characteristics you described here. I downloaded TMPGEnc and I'm not sure what to do with it. I would like to format my movies and shows into VCD format and burn them to CD. Could you, or somebody else that knows, tell me what I need to do with the MPEG file that I have to get it into VCD format and change the aspect ratio to a normal picture?

Thanks
Daniel

The tivo encodes at different resolutions that may not be the proper aspect ration. Basic and medium are 352x480 (half the horizontal pixels of DVD resolution) and high I believe is 480x480. If you play these full screen on your computer (or the tivo) it scales them properly to the correct aspect ratio
