I do this down with Vidodora(sp) but having it built in and automatic is a great feature. >> Stay informed about: TiVo to allow downloading video from PC.

I'm fairly certain the signal format is not preserved in digital form. Whether you need to output your decoded video in NTSC or PAL is more of the decoder's problem (in this case, your TiVo), and even then, only if your output device is one expecting a specific TV signal. >> Stay informed about: TiVo to allow downloading video from PC.

This is one of the reason that there are multiple regions for DVDs. Different regions have different video formats. Try to play a disc or tape from a mismatched region and your TV may not be able to cope with the resolution or framerate (depending on if your player device can even decode the media). A DVD from Amazon UK will spit out video in PAL format. > form.

PCs tend to have wildly varying refresh rates and display resolutions so it's pretty mundane for video to be "automatically translated" when being played on a PC. Actual DVD players are a bit more dicey. A PC should be able to take whatever a Tivo can throw at it and vice-versa. -- If you think that an 80G disk can hold HUNDRENDS of \|\|\| hours of DV video then you obviously haven't used iMovie either. / \| \ Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- SPEED RETENTION COMPLETION ANONYMITY ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com >> Stay informed about: TiVo to allow downloading video from PC.**
