[MacDV] Tivo + TRV-19?

[John Mistretta]

I have a Mac plus a Replay that I can offload what I can get off my sat 
dish. The files are kind of a pain as they have to be processed a bit 
prior to burning on a DVD.

Replay files have issues where they lose audio sync, so that has to be 
corrected. Then  you have to decompress the file to edit it, then 
recompress it into something small enough that IDVD or Toast will burn. 
It's all quite a pain and I have to really want it on DVD badly to go 
thru the trouble. Usually I keep the file in Replay's format and view 
it with the VLC application and put that on a DVD data disk for 
archive.

Programs I like for working with Replay files are VLC for viewing, MPEG 
Streamclip for viewing and editing and ffmpegX which is like a swiss 
army knife of UNIX video programs under a Mac GUI.

Good luck!
