My wife and I bought each other TiVo for Hanukkah. It's lots of fun, but I
would like to be able to view the files using the Tivo To Go system. This
creates a .tivo file, which appears to be MPEG2 encoded plus some
encapsulation system. Has anyone managed to get the video out of this
packet to allow playing it? I've tried compiling the mplayer-tivo package,
but with no luck - it just plays garbage. I can use a windows app,
DSD-Debug, to dump the mpeg2 stream and then copy it to linux, but would
prefer a cleaner solution than that. Any advice?
Thanks,
Andy
