Any chance of supporting .tivo files?

Hi Len0x,

Is there any chance of reencoding .tivo files? It is relatively easy to load them using directshow, but I'm not sure how you are doing things. Thanks.

To process an arbitrary video file via DShow I need info about the file (resolution, fps, duration). I bet there is no CLI tools that display that for tivo files. Plus there is no way of processing audio atm (as autogk doen't use DShow for it, but demuxes via VDubMod).

Aren't tivo's just renamed .mpgs?

in which case it should work already...

Hi guys,

EDIT: Sorry, I missed some of your post above, but this is informative, so I'll leave it

It loads via a tivo supplied source filter and seems to be a regular MPEG from that point on. It connects to the MPEG2 splitter, etc. Its a little tough to work with. In my little multimedia app, I have to call renderfile() and then disconnect the renderer and add my intermediate filters, and then reconnect the renderer. Building the graph directly by connecting filters using Intelligent Connections did not work. I don't know how you're doing things, but I can provide the code that correctly renders the files in dshow if that helps. Thanks

Mpeg2 sources are only handled by DGIndex/DGDecode combo, so AutoGK will only be able to support what that combo supports.
