Reply to ok who has extractstream working 100%? on August 2, 2001

I had the same problem, to such an extent that I removed the sequence bogus checking entirely. The output is much cleaner, but not perfect. It's basically the same as the output I get from...

Reply to 3 Basic TivoNet / Extraction Questions on August 13, 2001

Originally posted by porschebiker: 1.) I read that Tivo software v2.5 may kill all "hacking" of the units. Does this mean that HDD upgrades, TivoNet, web interfaces, nfs, etc. all will "die" when v2.5 of...

Reply to mpeg2->mpeg4 transcoder on July 20, 2001

Whats the point? MPEG4 == Divx, and it takes a hefty machine to encode it realtime. You can't play it on a standalone so playback is limited to more CPU cycles. For it to be...

Reply to Anyone successful in making SVCD's? Please share! on July 2, 2001

(S)VCD's are size based, not time based. If you could get a mpeg down to 1meg/minute then a 600 meg CD would hold 10 hours. How are you converting from MPEG2 to MPEG1 for VCD?...

Reply to VCD quality comparisons: Linux mjpegtools vs. Windows TMPGEnc on June 30, 2001

Originally posted by Fugg: which tivo quality setting matches svcd? svcd=2.4meg, right? All of them. The only differences in TiVo quality levels is bit rate, which is a direct correlation to size. SVCD is a...

Originally posted by dranch: who DOES support SVCD? The $99 Apex you passed up. Seriously, it's a Chinese standard and there's some political issues around that concept. It's also the perfect format to rip DVD's...

Reply to VCD quality comparisons: Linux mjpegtools vs. Windows TMPGEnc on June 28, 2001

See if your playback system can handle SVCD's. If it can't, get a new system. Seriously, SVCD's are so much better and what comes off the TiVo nearly matches the spec. In fact, the only...

Reply to Okay stupid question about 2-gig file limits on June 24, 2001

Fixing the kernel doesn't mean that all the applications have been updated. Given the number of developers involved, it would be impossible to coincide all the changes. What you're describing is an application problem on...

Reply to Documentation/Resource Suggestions at PVRHack? on June 25, 2001

In any case where you have the TiVo able to send at "normal" (just under 1MB/sec) rates, but only receive at a small fraction of that (I get 0.18 MB/sec) then NFS will be basically...

Reply to Alternatives to TMPGEnc? on June 22, 2001

The video coming off the TiVo is basically SVCD format as it stands, however the audio needs some minor modification. The main problem would be size, at best quality I've had hour long shows come...

Originally posted by daler: Has anyone had any luck with this an 2.01? I've been updating convertstream to work with 2.01. It is still imperfect. The problem you're having is because the checksum methodology changed...

Reply to Salon article on ExtractStream, Hacking, Encryption... on June 20, 2001

Giving people the chance to distribute TV shows online will undoubtedly draw unwanted legal attention Same fundamentally flawed argument that I've heard ever since I got my TiVo. I invite anybody who believes this to...

Reply to Question about TiVoNet on June 19, 2001

The disk suggested to use to setup the Tivonet does in fact start up a bash shell on the serial line which is normally used for DSS. However, it's just a line in the rc.sysinit...

Reply to TiVoMAD=ExtractBAD? on June 17, 2001

I've having problems extracting and never ran tivomad on the machine. It's running on a copy of the original disk (20 hour) and an 80 gig addon done via BlessTiVo oh so long ago...

Success...mostly. At some point in my testing I switched to only checking if Tridge's adapter howto at http://samba.org/tridge/tivo-ethernet/isa_adapter_howto.txt When I got around to checking out the code of the programs I noticed it wasn't a...

It's not a samba/nfs/netcat issue, evan a ftp getting /dev/random from the tivo is giving me comparable results - A fraction of the speed I get from my DSL. In fact, quite comparable to a...

Ok, I happen to have two Tivonet kits from 9thtee, and as of this point I have swapped out: The 10mb hub for a 10/100 switch The 10mb card on the linux box for a...

See the hack faq, under the TiVoNet section, for a link to Tridges page. He talks of the utility there. Bingo. The best it is achieving is 0.028 MB/sec, ranging all the way down to...

Reply to Speed of ExtractStream? on June 15, 2001

I have always been using netcat, when I attempted to setup samba the TiVo spontaneously rebooted when mounting. I wasn't able to find Tridge's tests, link? However, bing claims between 4000000bps and 6000000bps

Reply to Speed of ExtractStream? on June 15, 2001

Last night I started a -raw- extraction, i.e. no splitting between audio and video. This was transferred via netcat to my linux machine. The source was an hour long basic quality show. Total size: 768212992...

Reply to Speed of ExtractStream? on June 14, 2001

Err, so it is. I read the docs backwards, and as it turns out xanim doesn't play mpeg-2 (still yet! *cough*) Ok, the video is correct. I'll assume the sound is also, but that doesn't...
