I am sorry of this post seems a little redundant, but I have kinda been out of the loop for some time now, so I wanted to get back in to the swing of things ...

I have a SA 3.0 TiVo with a TurboNET card installed.

I was going to buy a DVD-R drive so that I can now start archiving shows to DVD in MPG2 format since the price of the drives and media has totally collapsed.

When I was using TivoApp in the past, there were many sync problems with it. Well, not the application, but the process by which the data was extracted. If you tried to extract the show directly to MPG2 format, the video/audio sync would totally fall apart.

People had posted way to get things "close" in terms of good extraction. You could extract to seperate video, and audio files, and then use TMPEG to mux it back together with some decent results. Of course, this adds TONS of work to the project, and lots of time to MUX the stuff together.

Basically, I am curious what peoples thoughts are on the current TiVo extraction process. Has it become more stable, and is there a fairly easy way to get decent results.

Basically, I am trying to find out if things have improved so I don't need to spend 5 hours to get 1 thirty minute show archived. If that is the case, I just don't have the time/interest in doing it.

Anyone, anyone??? A penny for your thoughts ...
