Software question

[Reynolds]

I recently got the Tivo transfer software, and was wondering if anyone knew a good program for editing the video so I can take out the commercials?  Also a program that I can extract audio from the video files?  Thanks

<p>If you can give some info i can help..</p><p>I need to know:</p><p>What processor do you have?</p><p>How much RAM do you have?</p><p>How much HD (harddrive) space?&nbsp; How manys HD's do you have? Size(s) 40gig? 100gig? 7200 RPM?</p><p>Why? Well if you have enough RAM it will go faster, same with a faster processor.&nbsp; Also encoding a file located on C: and having it saved to D: will increase speed too, cuz one drive will read while the other writes.</p><p>To strip audio out of a video file you can use VirtualDub, I use VirtualDub MOD, has a few more codecs and options available.&nbsp; You need a good Codec pack installed also.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If this is all gibberish, just ask and i will help.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hey. VirtualDub is good for a lot of things, but it won't do the kind of MPEG-2 editing you'll likely need for Tivo data. I don't know of a free program like it right-offhand, but TMPGEnc's MPEG Editor is great.</p><p>If you find yourself in need of codecs, just download ffdshow. It encodes/decodes almost everything, audio and video.</p>

Anyone have both a tivo and a PSP?&nbsp; My brother and I both have Tivos, and I bought my brother a PSP and a 512 memory card for his birthday.&nbsp; I stuck the first episode of Life on Mars on it, and was surprised that the hour of video only took up 1/2 the card, quality wasn't too bad either.&nbsp; I was thinking of showing him how to transfer the video to his psp, supposedly the software from tivo lets you convert the files to psp format.&nbsp; He's an actor and is big into TV.&nbsp; He was also in &quot;Gap&quot; .

<p>the codec for PSP use is MP4 (x264 or h264) and 1 episode of a show should compress to about 90-100mb (i think per half hour) i have a PSP.&nbsp; Does your bros PSP have the Firmware installed on it that came with it or Custom... if its the right version I can give you the files to turn it into a v1.5, or a 2.71SE custom, both will play ISO's.&nbsp; 2.71se will play them without a ISO loader tho.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p>
